I think it was quite predictable considering the fact that he served as a public official at one time. <br /><br />Over the past 10 years I've become "awakened" and much more attuned to political issues and personalities. What I find to be extremely unfortunate after reading this story about Pilate (as well as the Passion in the Gospel) is that human nature has not evolved much (or at all) when it comes to political matters and the players within the political arena. <br />The reason being is that for those who are in charge (i.e., those who govern), it's all about their ability to gain and wield power, attain prestige and of course, acquire money while the matters and issues of REAL importance and significance to the people (i.e., those who are governed) tend to be trivialized or ignored completely if there's nothing to be gained in the process by the governing (political) official. <br /><br />I truly believe that if politics was not "profitable", then no one would be in it.KEvanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811997219325568382noreply@blogger.com
