2) Line up good character witnesses!

Mark 14:53, 55-65, Matt. 26:57, 59-68,

3) Get your friends to testify!

5) Always appeal to a higher court!

      John 18:28-38, Matt 27:2,11-14, Mark 15:1b-5, Luke 23:1-5

Two absolute certainties, Jesus could have avoided the crucifixion, and we would have, but cant. Why, Romans 6:23 The wages of sin are death. As we have discussed, Jesus gave use a physical manifestation of God, God is both love and just. Because he is just there is no way around his justice. It is applied without prejudice or discrimination to all that Sin! Jesus paid that price for all that believe upon Him. He who was without sin, died for sin.

The Crucifixion

Matthew 27:31-56, Mark 15:20-41, Luke 23:26-49, John 19:16b-30.
