Bible Texts: Mk.15:14-15, 2Pet.2:10, 1Pet.1:7, Heb.11:33, Heb.11:1-3, Matt.7:7, Lk.18:1, Rev.12:10, 1Tim.6:12, 2Tim.1:7, 2Tim.1:13, Jos.1:6-8
The Scripture in Mark chapter 15 tells the story of Pontius Pilate, the judge, who was afraid to defend the truth when Jesus Christ was arrested and brought to him. Jesus Christ was wrongly accused by the people, and Pontius Pilate knew it, but he was scared.
But Pilate answered them saying, will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy (Mk.15:10)
Notwithstanding that Jesus Christ was innocent, Pontius Pilate still handed over Jesus Christ to His accusers, who abused, humiliated, tortured, stripped, mocked, bruised, and eventually crucified Christ.
Then Pilate said unto them, why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, crucify him. And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him to be crucified (Mk.15:14-15)
Now, what is the Person of the Holy Spirit saying to the husbandman?
As the good and godly husbandman, you must stand for what is right based on God’s word as you lead yourself, your wife, and your children. God doesn’t want you to expose your wife and children to the assaults, insults, abuses, and torments of satan, sin, and the world.
For instance, do not allow your wife to be tormented, humiliated, or abused by anyone, including your parents, siblings, friends, or even relations, because she did not bear you a male child. You must not be like Pontius Pilate, who is faint-hearted. You must protect your wife and children. You must learn and be prepared to defend your wife and children before satan, sin, and the world. No one, no matter his or her position or status, is powerful enough to make you release your wife and children for harassment and embarrassment.
But why am I different from Pontius Pilate?
Spirit of boldness and a sound mind (2Tim.1:7)
You are different because you have the Spirit of boldness, which is given to you by Jesus Christ, through the Person of the Holy Spirit. So, step out and be the watchman over your wife and children against foxes.
Hallelujah!
