Acts 13:28

"And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain."
Acts 13:28


I think this is interesting.  There was no reason at all to kill Christ. He hadn't done anything wrong... but we are offended by people who are doing good sometimes.  We're jealous, or just selfish.  They are in our way... they have the lives that we want... whatever it is.  We project our own feelings or thoughts onto them, and figure that they are self-righteous, or looking down on us, or whatever.  Maybe it is just paranoia, but it is easy to want to drag people that you see as better than you down, rather than trying to aspire to their level.  Today, let's try to do the absolute best we can, and honor those people who are following the commandments.  Those are the people we should be gathering around ourselves, not only to have a good example, but also because righteous friendships are one of the greatest blessings that God can give us. :)
