"Pilate, therefore, wishing to release Jesus, again called out to them. But they shouted, saying, 'Crucify Him, crucify Him!' Then he said to them a third time, 'Why? What evil has He done? I have found no reason for death in Him. I will therefore chastise Him and let Him go.' But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And the voices of these men and of the chief priests prevailed. So Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they requested."
Luke 23:20-24
There was a T.V. game show called "1 Against 100." The lone contestant stood against "The Mob," as they were called. It is hard to stand against the Mob. Pilate found that true and caved in. The mob mentality does not listen to reason. Those with the loudest voices control the masses. I avoid any group that is incited by people yelling into bull-horns or chanting slogans, even if I agree with what they stand for. The majority is not always right and it is hard to stand alone for truth.
Today's Thought: The mob does not usually listen to reason.
Have a "stand-alone" day. Love you.
