Luke 23: 22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done?
When we know what is right we need to stand strong and not give into what other people want, or we will have grave consequences.
There are many times in our lives when we will be faced with the opportunity to make a decision to stand up for what we know is right we need to make sure to do it. We have been taught most of our lives the specific right things that we need to do in situations. Except sometimes there can be pressure from those around us and we are nervous to do what is right because we are scared of being mocked or judged by others. But ultimately we need to care more about what Heavenly Father will think than these people. Because sometimes the voices of those in the world can lead us astray to do things that aren't right. This is a lesson that Pilate learned the hard way and is a mistake we never want to make.

Luke 24:32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
One of the ways that the spirit can show truth unto us is by the feelings that we have, whether they be burning in the heart, feelings of peace or chills. The spirit will always testify to us if we are willing to listen and to pay heed. There are many times in our lives when we will be struggling to try to figure out if something is the right thing to do, and the spirit will be trying to help us through the promptings we feel. One of the great things about this example is that they felt the spirit when the scriptures were opened up to them, we too can use the scriptures as a resource of feeling the spirit. The scriptures are a blessing in our lives and a way in which Heavenly Father can communicate with us. Different people feel the spirit in different ways but overall they can be feelings of peace.

Luke 23: 34 ¶Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
We must be willing to forgive others, unto us it is required to forgive all men.
