Listen To Your Wife

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

By listening to his wife he could have become a noble hero. There could have been St. Pilate churches all through history, and Pilate could have become a popular Christian name. But Pilate blew it because he would not listen to his wife.
