Determination is an important characteristic. Many have been determined to lose weight; to get out of debt; to save money; and to accomplish many other things. For us to reach our goals, we must be determined. We must be so determined that it does not matter what opposition, criticism, or obstacles we face, we will accomplish what we set out to do. Unfortunately, Pilate was not determined enough. He knew that Jesus did not do anything worthy of death and wanted to release him. He allowed the crowds and the Pharisees to change his mind and make a decision that he knew was wrong about. We must endeavor not to allow this to happen in our own lives. When we make a decision, we must be determined to see it through, no matter what. We can be determined because we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. (Philippians 4:13).
