Pilate’s Dilemma
Miraculous Dream — Pilate’s wife had a dream about Jesus, highlighting his innocence – even a Gentile woman received revelation, whereas the Jewish leaders remained stubborn. (v.19)
Washing of Hands — He succumbed to the pressure of the crowd, betrayed his own conscience, and shed the blood of the only righteous man, consigning himself to a ruined name for posterity. (v.24)
Scripture of the Day (NT): Matt 27:1-26

Leviticus 24-25:God is the supernatural provider, everything comes from Him, and so Man must enjoy the sabbath year through disciplined worship.
