They Condemned The Innocent And Released The Guilty: The Trial Of Jesus Christ Reveals The Wickedness Of Man And The Willing Sacrifice Of The Son Of God
The most important question you will ever answer is simply this – “who is Jesus Christ?” Your answer to that question will determine nothing less than your eternal destiny. If you were brought into a courtroom on the charge of being a Bible believing Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you? You better think about that, because we will put you on trial today. Jesus was put on trial, brought into a courtroom, and charged with the crime of being the Son of God. This is how it went.
“And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.” John 1:34 KJV
The chief priests sought testimony that would justify His death for “making himself equal with God”, but their false professors could not agree. Pilate examined Him and found no fault concerning their accusations, then reported that Herod had established nothing worthy of death either. Judas, the man who betrayed Him, confessed later that he had betrayed innocent blood. The Roman centurion standing at His crucifixion, who had personally overseen the nails being driven into Jesus body, declared Him to be righteous and he identified Him as the Son of God. Even Caiaphas, while plotting His destruction, wound up unintentionally prophesying that Jesus would die for the nation. What an astounding record we have before us! The betrayal, examinations, and execution produced testimony supporting the very One they sought to condemn. Their actions exposed how far men are willing to go when protecting their position becomes more important than receiving and acknowledging the truth. First, we put Jesus on trial and examine the evidence against HIm. Next, we put you on trial for the crime of being a Christian to see if the Bible says you’re guilty or innocent. That’s today’s Sunday Service message!
