Those Galileans

At that time, some people came and reported to Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

Luke 13:1

Though I do not know of this particular event being recorded elsewhere, it is entirely consistent with the tenor of Pilate’s ‘relationship’ with the Jews, and Herod.

Of course, those who reported this probably wanted Jesus to respond with force. Though we often fail to see it, Jesus was surely asked to use violence against the Romans on more than one occasion. His peaceful message frustrated some, confused others, and helped many more.

Heavenly Father, Your ways don’t always make sense to us. But we always end up seeing that Your ways are for the best. We don’t always understand what You are doing at the moment. But we stand in awe of Your plan and purpose for the ages. You are truly glorious! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
