VIII. MAIN BODY:

Matthew 27:24 (King James Version)

When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.

Two qualifications of political people that we don't want to vote:

A. Those looking for a profit.

"When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made,"

Prevail or "opheleo" in Greek meaning:

1. to be useful

2. to benefit

3. advantage, better, profit

The 3 negative qualifications that you're not voting for this person namely:

1. those who want to use people, or it will be useful to them

2. those who want benefit

3. those who want to take advantage of the people, to better themselves, to profit.

There are many liars out there when the 2016 election is nearing, they will say sweet words that you like to hear, they are there to help you out, to better yourself, to improve the country's economy, etc. but in reverse, all they want are profit for themselves. Don't believe them.

WE CAN LEARN FROM FIVE POINTS OF PONTIUS PILATE AS A POLITICIAN:

1. Pontius Pilate is different from Queen Esther in character and attitude.

We learned that Pontius Pilate is different from Queen Esther. Queen Esther is in a high position to help the Jews, the people of GOD.

Mordecai knows the purpose of Queen Esther's high position: To save the Jews from Haman.

Esther 4:13-14 (Amplified Bible)

Then Mordecai told them to return this answer to Esther, Do not flatter yourself that you shall escape in the king’s palace any more than all the other Jews.

For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance shall arise for the Jews from elsewhere, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows but that you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this and for this very occasion?

2. Pontius Pilate's morals and characters were already influenced by the Pharisees who are always seeking profit for themselves.

John 12:19 (King James Version)

The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.

John 12:19 (Amplified Bible)

Then the Pharisees said among themselves, You see how futile your efforts are and how you accomplish nothing. See! The whole world is running after Him!

ILLUSTRATION: I once met a venture capitalist who wants to support a politician frient that put up millions of money just to learn his politician friend never "won" any position in the senate. So he turned it into a loan for his politician friend that he plans to help him out as long as there is profit for himself.

Yes there are politician that are victims of millionaires trying to get a profit in this political "business" called "election", and they are hard pressed, pressured to run because they are supported financially, but when they win, it's payback time for them to give V.I.P. treatment to these people, thus, they lose their primary purpose of being voted, that is to help people of the country not just one man.

3. Pontius Pilate is similar to an unbeliever who wants to get rich. He will do it even if he loses his own soul. Because the author of life is in front of him, that is the LORD JESUS CHRIST but instead he chose Barabbas.

Luke 9:25 (Amplified Bible)

For what does it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and ruins or forfeits (loses) himself?

Mark 8:36 (Amplified Bible)

For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life [in the eternal kingdom of God]?

Matthew 27:16-17 (Amplified Bible)

And at that time they had a notorious prisoner whose name was Barabbas.

So when they had assembled for this purpose, Pilate said to them, Whom do you want me to set free for you, Barabbas, or Jesus Who is called Christ?

Matthew 27:20 (Amplified Bible)

But the chief priests and the elders prevailed on the people to ask for Barabbas, and put Jesus to death.

4. Pontius Pilate is like a child who never gave honor to his parents.

Mark 7:11 (Amplified Bible)

But [as for you] you say, A man is exempt if he tells [his] father or [his] mother, What you would otherwise have gained from me [everything I have that would have been of use to you] is Corban, that is, is a gift [already given as an offering to God],

Matthew 15:5 (Amplified Bible)

But you say, If anyone tells his father or mother, What you would have gained from me [that is, the money and whatever I have that might be used for helping you] is already dedicated as a gift to God, then he is exempt and no longer under obligation to honor and help his father or his mother.

5. Pontius Pilate is absolutely and infinitely different from JESUS that is looking for GOD's approval and not from men.

John 5:41 (Amplified Bible)

I receive not glory from men [I crave no human honor, I look for no mortal fame],

6. Pontius Pilate is different from Joseph of Arimathea who is a secret disciple

John 19:38 (Amplified Bible)

And after this, Joseph of Arimathea—a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews—asked Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate granted him permission. So he came and took away His body.

At the least, Joseph became a disciple meanins he's a believer first of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

B. Those who declare themselves innocent.

"he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. "

Most probably, Pontius Pilate knew the Psalms or at one time he reads the Psalms because he wants to imitate King David in his reign and rule. Or he knew or read the book of Deuteronomy.

Psalms 26:6 (Amplified Bible)

I will wash my hands in innocence, and go about Your altar, O Lord,

Deuteronomy 21:6-9 (Amplified Bible)

And all the elders of that city nearest to the slain man shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley,

And they shall testify, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.

Forgive, O Lord, Your people Israel, whom You have redeemed, and do not allow the shedding of innocent blood to be charged to Your people Israel. And the guilt of blood shall be forgiven them.

So shall you purge the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when you do what is right in the sight of the Lord.

The LORD JESUS CHRIST is not interested in glory, honor and fame coming from men but from GOD.

John 5:41 (Amplified Bible)

I receive not glory from men [I crave no human honor, I look for no mortal fame],

There's a time when JESUS ran from the crowd because they wanted to make him a king.

John 6:15 (Amplified Bible)

Then Jesus, knowing that they meant to come and seize Him that they might make Him king, withdrew again to the hillside by Himself alone.

The LORD JESUS CHRIST describes Pontius Pilate long before He met him face to face.

John 7:18 (Amplified Bible)

He who speaks on his own authority seeks to win honor for himself. [He whose teaching originates with himself seeks his own glory.] But He Who seeks the glory and is eager for the honor of Him Who sent Him, He is true; and there is no unrighteousness or falsehood or deception in Him.

John 8:50 (Amplified Bible)

However, I am not in search of honor for Myself. [I do not seek and am not aiming for My own glory.] There is One Who [looks after that; He] seeks [My glory], and He is the Judge.

1 Peter 2:21 (Amplified Bible)

For even to this were you called [it is inseparable from your vocation]. For Christ also suffered for you, leaving you [His personal] example, so that you should follow in His footsteps.

1 Thessalonians 2:6 (Amplified Bible)

Nor did we seek to extract praise and honor and glory from men, either from you or from anyone else, though we might have asserted our authority [stood on our dignity and claimed honor] as apostles (special missionaries) of Christ (the Messiah).

2 Peter 1:17 (Amplified Bible)

For when He was invested with honor and glory from God the Father and a voice was borne to Him by the [splendid] Majestic Glory [in the bright cloud that overshadowed Him, saying], This is My beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased and delight,

IX. CONCLUSION:

Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You have given us two qualifications of people that we can vote for this coming election 2016.

Be like Governor Nehemiah, Governor Daniel and Governor Joseph of Israel and also Queen Esther who have used their position to exalt JESUS.
