Today, as we continue to Prepare 90 Days for Easter (P90E), we read Luke 23 and Colossians 3.23-24.
If you read closely, you will find something very interesting in Luke 23.12- And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before this they had been at enmity with each other.
They became friends because of their common opposition to Christ. That is exactly opposite of how you should make friends. Your friendships ought to be because you have a common bond in Christ. Your friendships ought to be because you are trying to encourage or lead someone else in Christ. Too often, however, our friendships lead us away from being what we need to be for Christ. Pilate made a decision against Christ, did not listen to the one that advised him correctly (his wife- Matt.27.19), tried to wash his hands of his decision, and was influenced by the pressure that came from a new friendship.
Be careful who you hang with, folk. Make sure you are helping others improve, instead of letting them drag you down.
Let's stand and season for Christ today!
