Let God Speak! Mark's Gospel

Day 43: Mark 14:53-65
Before the Sanhedrin

Jesus faced a formidable bunch of accusers. The Sanhedrin was the high court of the Jewish world and the Romans, who occupied Israel, allowed them to run their own court except that they could not pass a death sentence. Were they were right to pass a sentence of blasphemy? In front of them Jesus confessed to being the Son of God using the Jewish phrase “I am” which was only ever applied to God. However, this was done in a great hurry with no real evidence, no fair trial and no-one could agree about what they were accusing him of doing.

The case against Jesus goes on today. Think about some of the arguments set against Jesus in your world.

How can you be ready to combat those arguments?
