Wishful Thinking

I find it interesting that one of the primary charges brought before Pilate, against Jesus, by the religious leaders of his day in Luke 23:1-12 is that he was misleading the people.

While we know that it was actually the Pharisees and Priests that were leading the people astray by leading them to religion rather than to God - I can't help but think what it would be like today if it were against the Law to mislead people.

Unfortunately it isn't - that is why it is so important to spend time with God - listening to His voice so that we can be protected from being misled. We need to learn to recognize the voice of God and to listen to that voice as it leads us to the truth.
