JESUS ON TRIAL?
(King Jesus: The Gospel of Matthew- Part 72)
August 1, 2021
The Passage: Mt. 26:57-66; 27:1,2; 11-26
JESUS’ WAS ‘TRIED’ IN ‘KANGAROO COURTS’
– Jewish
– Roman
WE’RE TRIED IN THE REAL COURT
Who’s responsible for Jesus’ death?
Each one of us
When it comes to sin, we can…
… deny it
… defend it
… downplay it
… deflect it
But God calls us to own it and repent of it
When it comes to Jesus…
… He’s the only innocent one
… He must be dealt with
… He traded places with us
