Remarkable Part 57: The Testimony (Mark 14:53-65)

The Sanhedrin meet in the middle of the night, against their own rules, looking for reasons to have Jesus executed. Despite false testimonies against Him, Jesus remains silent. He finally speaks when His identity is questioned. "You are the Christ?" To which Jesus responds, "I am." This answer is enough to have Jesus put to death, as He can now be portrayed as a false prophet. Jesus' sense of calmness under pressure and His security in the statement, "I am," is our testimony too! Jesus isn't just the king, He is OUR king, and we are evidence of His kingdom today.
