Today's Blog Title: "The Trials of Jesus"
Today's Scripture Reading: Various Scripture Reading from Various Gospel Accounts on the Trials of Jesus
Today's Key Verse: John 18:12-14 "Then the detachment of troops and the captain and the officers of, the Jews arrested Jesus and bound Him. And they led Him away to Annas first, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was high priest that year. Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people."
Today is part 2 of John Chapter 18. Today we will Read about the trials of Jesus that come not only from the Book of John but from the three other Gospel accounts of these trails. Listed before is the people that Jesus stood before after His arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane."
The Trials of Jesus
BEFORE JEWISH RELIGIOUS LEADERS
Preliminary hearing before Annas Although the Romans had deposed Annas, but in
(John 18:12-24) the eyes of the Jews he still functioned as the high
priest, because the office was for life. Annas
questioned Jesus, but Jesus demanded a legal
hearing
Hearing before Caiaphas Caiaphas was the high priest appointed by the
(Matthew 26:57-67; Mark 14:53-65) Romans. Two witnesses testified against Jesus
and Caiaphas asked Jesus if He was the Messiah.
Jesus answered yes, and Caiaphas concluded that
Jesus was guilty of blashemy.
The Trial before the Sanhedrin The council of religious leaders confirmed
(Matthew 27:1-2; Mark 15:1 Caiaphas's conclusion. In this trial, Jesus
Luke 22:66-71) admitted He was the Son of God and declared
that He will sit on the right hand of God the
Father.
BEFORE ROMAN AUTHORITIES
First Hearing Before Pilate The Jewish religious leaders brought Jesus to
(John 18:28-27; Matthew 27:11-14; Pilate in order to get permission to execute Him.
Mark 15:2-5; Luke 23:1-5) They accused Him of treason. Pilate saw Jesus
innocence, but briefly questioned Him. In this
interview, Jesus revealed to Pilate that His
kingdom was not of this earth.
Hearing before Herod Pilate send Jesus to Herod because Jesus was from
(Luke 23:6-12) Galilee, the region ruled by Herod. Jesus
remained silent before Herod.
Final Hearing Before Pilate Pilate did not want to condemn an innocent man,
(John 18:38-19:16; Matthew 27:15-26; but he was afraid of another Jewish uprising.
Mark 15:6-15; Luke 23:13-25) Therefore he finally gave in to the cries of the
crowd to "Crucify Him."
In verse 37 Jesus admitted to being a king, but totally confused Pilate by asserting His kingdom had neither land nor troops. Even here Jesus seems to reach out to touch Pilate rather than defend Himself. If only Pilate will listen to (hear and respond correctly) what Jesus says he would have learned (by experience) the truth (reality) Jesus is describing. Pilate here shrugs off the appeal with a scornful "What is truth?" Pilate sees Jesus as harmless, and he is willing to let Jesus go, but the people would have nothing to do with that.
Today's Christmas Hymn: "Mary Did You Know"
Mary did you know, that you baby boy will one day walk on water? Mary did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that you baby boy has come to make you new? This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you.
Mary did you know that your baby boy will give sight to the blind? Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with His hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod? And when you kissed your little baby, you have kissed the face of God
The blind will see, the deaf will hear and the dead will live again. The lame will leap, the dumb will speak the praises of the Lamb
Mary did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all Creation? Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day rule the nations
Did you know that your baby is heaven's perfect Lamb? The sleeping child you're holding is the "GREAT I AM"
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, how thankful we are Father for you love for us that You sent your Son the unblemished and perfect Lamb to become the sacrifice upon the Cross of Calvary for our sins in that whomsoever would come to Him would be washed is His life giving blood. May you grant us the boldness to go out and speak to those around us about the Free Gift of Salvation that You Abba Father have given us through Jesus Christ Your Son and our Lord and Savior. May all Praise and Glory be given to You now and forever.
Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "The loving relationship of believers to each other is the greatest witness to Jesus Christ."
Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. Pray for our Brothers and Sisters who are being persecuted for their Faith and Trust in Jesus Christ. Also pray for God's Blessings on the Nation of Israel. Always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."
"But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave, For He shall receive me." Psalm 49:15.
