John 19:11-12 Jesus answered him, “you would have no power over me unless it has been given you from above; therefore the one who handed Me over is guilty of a greater sin. From that time on Pilate tried to release him, but the Jews cried out if you release this man you’re no friend of Caesars. 
Amazing! Pilate had an encounter with Jesus and he wanted to release him. But for fear of the crowd he turned Jesus over to them to be crucified. Many Christians today turn Jesus over when they are pressured by their friends to act in a way that doesn’t glorify Christ! When the pressure from the world is too strong will we will deny Christ! Are you ashamed of Christ? When you’re with your unbelieving friends, are you ashamed of Christ? When temptation to fit in is strong, are you ashamed of Christ?
