Tonight I would like us to take a mental tour- a tour with our imagination- of the day that Jesus was condemned... The day that Jesus was finally "crowned" as a King.
A perfect life. Perfect love. He healed and delivered all who trusted in Him. The blind see. The crippled walk. The hungry are fed. And now this...
Jesus, eyes swollen, face bruised, body beaten, stands before crooked judges after becoming a victim of police brutality...
Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus:
"Have you no answer? What is it that they testify against you?"
Look into the narrow eyes of the high priest. Can you see the hate? Can you see the judgment? Can you see the rage?
