J.R. Miller reflects on the tragic story of Pontius Pilate, who, despite knowing Jesus' innocence, chose to prioritize his own interests over justice. Pilate's indecision and moral failure led him to ask the haunting question, 'What shall I do with Jesus?' Ultimately, he succumbed to the pressure of the crowd and condemned an innocent man, forever marking his legacy with infamy. Miller emphasizes that Pilate's opportunity for honor was lost due to his failure to stand for what was right, illustrating the consequences of moral compromise. The sermon serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of making righteous choices in the face of pressure.
