Yes, Pike was of the belief that he needed to make an example of somebody in order to discurage rebellion, desertion, and traitors. Lincoln was the only option still available to him (besides the sick grounders, who he threatened to kill instead had Lincoln not returned), as Kane, his main target, was gone. In their final scene together, before Pike executed Lincoln, he seemed to show some level of respect and even alittle sorrow, in killing him, assuring Lincoln that his people who were still prisoners would be looked after. I think Pike respected Lincoln for putting his people first, even though it cost him his life. Pike was very misguided... but human none the less.
