Description

In this episode, we focus on the event when Jesus is brought before the assembly of elders, chief priests, and scribes called the Council or Sanhedrin. They question Him about being the Christ or Messiah. He says that from "now on," the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God. Jesus' titles, the Son of God and the Son of Man, refer to His divine and human natures. We learn that seeing beyond our present trials and temptations is important, anchoring our hope in the future reality of being seated with Christ in heaven. This story reveals the dangers of having a warped theology, as exemplified by the religious leaders who condemned Jesus and emphasizes the need for a correct understanding of God through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
