Angry group think? What can we do?

John 19: 15 "But they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!”

“Shall I crucify your king?” Pilate asked.

“We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered.

16 Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified."

   Angry group think, was one tool used to crudity Jesus.   How do we get to that state in our culture?   I am babysitting my two year old grandson this week,  it is much harder to stand firm against his temper tantrums than it is to give in.  I’m thinking of how Pilot gave into the group think temper tantrum even though he found no fault in Jesus.    It is hard to stand up against group think even when it’s dead wrong!  Today I’m babysitting again.   I will try to practice standing up against temper tantrums at this small level, hopefully I’ll be able to do that.   If I’m not faithful in small things how can I be faithful in big things?  I think if a society is to resist group think we have to practice in our daily relationships.

Be encouraged to stand up for Jesus and BE  all He has called you to BE!!
