------------------------------------------------------------
We will be in Matthew 26 today, but we are going to start in John 18, so please turn in your Bibles to John 18... and here's why...
• The general reason is I enjoy harmonizing the Gospels.
Taking all four gospels...and placing them side by side... to get the full picture and full sequencing of what happened in Jesus' ministry.
• And, there are great Harmony of the Gospels books that do the leg work for you.
I recommend adding one to your study library.
• The specific reason we are starting in John 18 is because John records the first of Jesus' three religious trials.
• Matthew, who wrote thematically... and not chronologically... did not need to record the first trial to prove to his Jewish audience that Jesus was their king.
There were six trials of Jesus altogether.
Three religious trials, that we will look at today, and three civil trials, that we will look at next week.
Before we get into the word, a quick recap where we are...
• It is Thursday night of the Passover week... already Friday in Jewish reckoning, and Jesus and His disciples ate the Passover meal in the Upper Room.
• Jesus predicted Judas would betray Him... Judas leaves to do so... and Jesus institutes the Lord's Supper.
• Then, they left the city proper of Jerusalem... singing a hymn... likely Ps 118... and Jesus predicts all the disciples would scatter from Him, as He was struck... and that Peter would deny Him three times.
• They crossed the Kidron valley to the Mount of Olives where Jesus prayed at the Garden of Gethsemane...
• ... and the disciples failed Jesus...
He asked them to 'watch and pray', but they slept.
• Jesus said, "The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
• Then the betrayer, Judas, who Satan had entered, arrived with about 600 Roman Soldiers, Jewish Temple Police, and Jewish Religious leaders.
• Judas betrays Jesus with a kiss... a repeated and fervent kiss... the same Gk.
word for "kiss"... given to the prodigal son by his father...
• They ask for Jesus.
He said, "I am." (ĕgō eimi) And, all 600+ men fall over.
• And, while He didn't have to... Jesus let them lay their hands on Him and take Him.
• The disciples ask, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"
• Peter actually did and cut off the right ear of Malchus, the servant of the high priest.
• Jesus rebukes this action.
Jesus did not need Peter's defense...
He could ask the Father and He would send 12 legions of angels.
• If your God NEEDS YOUR defense, you've got the wrong God.
• Jesus didn't need Peter's rescue...
He was in total control.
He was in control even through the travesty of these trials we will look at this week and next.
• There's no modern equivalent to the illegalities of Jesus' trials, but let me paint this picture to help you understand just how bad it was...
• Imagine you're leading a 24 hour prayer gathering... and at 2am, the SWAT team arrives and takes you directly to court... without formal charges... in the middle of the night you stand before 2 different judges...
• They have you beaten, mocked, and spit in you face...
• And, they break their own laws to pin a false charge on you so they can sentence you to death...
• This week and next, we will witness the outrage of Jesus' trials...
The title of today's sermon is "The Religious Trials."
Let's Pray!
Let's pick up in John 18:12-23 looking quickly at the first religious trial.
"Then the detachment of troops and the captain and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound Him.
1. Amazing... the God of the universe allows Himself to be bound by His creation.
V13 And they led Him away to Annas first, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was high priest that year.
1.
We talked a few weeks ago in depth about Annas and Caiphas...
a. Annas was the High Priest from 6-15 A.D.... and High Priest rightfully, but was removed by Rome and Caiphas was appointed from 18-36 A.D.
