Friday Morning: Trials and Denial
• Scott Stem • Series: Easter Weekend
Jesus endured distinct trials before his crucifixion, facing both religious and political authorities. The religious leaders, desperate for a conviction, broke their own laws and sought false witnesses against him. When brought before Pilate and Herod, the accusations shifted from religious blasphemy to political rebellion. Throughout these ordeals, Jesus displayed remarkable patience, self-control, and love for those condemning him, demonstrating his divine character even in the face of injustice.
