Power from Above


Some protesters against stay-at-home orders, which includes believers, are at the point of rebellion against the governors of their State. Certainly, we all have the right to protest; however, it’s also important to remember where the governors get their power to govern. Pilate was contemplating the fate of Jesus when he heard the accusation that Jesus claimed to be the Son of God. He confronted Jesus, but the Lord did not speak. “Do you refuse to speak to me?” Pilate said. “Don’t you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?” Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin” (John 19:10-11 NIV).
