As Jesus is bound and led before Annas and Caiaphas, the injustice of His trial reveals the depth of His love. Though innocent, He stands accused, struck, and condemned not for His sin, but for ours. Every blow, every accusation marks the beginning of our punishment being placed upon Him. Before the corrupt high priest, the true High Priest endures humiliation to satisfy God’s righteous demand for justice. Jesus, the perfect sacrifice, becomes our propitiation, taking our place so that grace and forgiveness might be ours. His silence under judgment speaks louder than any words: the innocent One suffers so the guilty may go free.
