The Wife’s Tale: What Pilate’s Wife Knew That Rome Didn’t | Conrad Vine
Conrad Vine
Examine the courageous story of Pilate’s wife, a solitary figure who stood for Jesus. Pastor Conrad Vine paints a vivid picture of the tense political and spiritual landscape of Judea, ruled by the cruel Pilate who was beholden to the anti-Semitic regime in Rome. See how Jesus’s fame had permeated all levels of society, reaching even Pilate’s household. In the midst of a bloodthirsty mob, the disciples’ abandonment, and Pilate’s cynical maneuvering, witness how this one pagan woman, moved by a divine dream, risked everything to send a warning: “Have nothing to do with that innocent man.” Her act, though it did not change the human outcome, brought joy to Christ in His darkest hour, proving His sacrifice was not in vain and that His gospel reaches all people.
