What always gets me about the trial of Jesus, was when the Jewish leaders brought Jesus to Pilate, but they would not enter the Praetorium lest they defile themselves, exempting themselves from eating the Passover that year. Let me see, I do not want to defile myself by entering a Gentile place, but I can defile myself by conspiring to kill an innocent man. Of course, they should have seen Jesus as the Son of God, but knowing that they had to find false witnesses to convict should have shown them that He was at least an innocent man.

Don, I’ve often thought the same thing, but have come to view it as human nature. I’ve even seen Christians willing to operate on the level of the end justifies the means. It happens when they are blindly determined to accomplish what they deem as good (though it’s often not!) all the while posing as upstanding Christians.
We must guard ourselves that we not succumb to the temptation.
