Pilates Wife (Warnings) Pontius Pilates wife had a dream about Christ, and she warned Pilate to have nothing to do with Jesus, a just man. God can use dreams to warn us. Pilate did not heed the dream of his wife, but turned him over to the Jews to be crucified. Pilate, along with Herod, the Gentiles (Romans), and the people of Israel shared guilt in crucifying Christ. Matthew 27:19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. Pilate was guilty because he was warned. Pilate knew that Christ was innocent. He knew Christ was delivered to him because of envy. He was more intent on pleasing the mob, than doing what was right. Pilate is an example of someone who is warned, but does the opposite. Pilate is listed with Herod, the Gentiles, and the people of Israel in gathering together against Christ. Acts 4:27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, The story of Pilate is tragic. The tragedy of not having the courage to heed a warning. Dont ignore warnings. A warning can save your life, and prevent you from doing something tragic. ©John Eckhardt
