THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 76: Pontius Pilate Meets Jesus |
|
|
The Sanhedrin trial was a complete mockery of
justice. The vermin posing as righteous men carried out a trial that
was rife with so many errors that the conviction should have been
overturned. Yet, the showdown in Jerusalem accurately reflected the
animosity of the Devil toward Jesus. The Son of God incarnated was
the Godhead’s representative on earth and Lucifer had recruited
almost all the Jewish religious leadership. A personal bodyguard of
twelve legions of angels was at the God-man’s disposal, but they
were powerless to stop the beating inflicted upon the Son of God as
they waited in vain for the signal that He wanted to be rescued. The
Sanhedrin wanted to kill the man they despised and hated, but they
feared the common people who revered Jesus as a teacher and healer.
This is why it was necessary to use the Romans to execute an
innocent man. And this is how Jesus came to meet the governor of
Judea. |
