We hear stories often about a miscarriage of justice, of how the authorities charged to protect us and faithfully serve the law fall down on the job. Of course it doesn’t happen always or even as often as the stories might make us believe. But humans can be seriously wrong even when they fervently believe they are upholding the law. Like in today’s story.
If you are getting started in a relationship with God, trying to have a quiet time or seeking guidance at this point in your life, you're in the right place.
Spend your first fifteen minutes of the day listening to God and responding in a personal way. This podcast will show you how and teach you in an easy to follow process.
In fifteen minutes (or less) you will listen to God's word for you, reflect on it and learn to pray to God as well as carry that word with you through the rest of your day. What a perfect way to get started!
The featured scripture in this episode is Matt 26:57-68. The armed crowd marches Jesus from Gethsemane on the slopes of the Mount of Olives into the city of Jerusalem, to the high priest Caiaphas' house. The Jewish Sanhedrin meets there in an extraordinary session, not to hear the claims and counter-claims for and against Jesus, but to look for any evidence that can incriminate Jesus and remove him from the spotlight. They convict him on his own testimony that he is the Messiah, the Son of God, and by condemning him they condemn themselves.
