Why Do You Question Me? (John 18:13-27)
from The Acts Church Hour Hosted by The Acts Church
The examination and questioning of Jesus has begun as they will look to find a way to bring Him to death. There are no credible witnesses against Jesus because He is the spotless, unblemished Lamb of God who is without sin. As Jesus stands before the high priest for questioning, what the high priest does not realize is that the One who they are questioning is God in flesh, the true eternal High Priest who intercedes for His people forever. He was perfect and innocent and God sovereignly hardened their hearts and blinded their eyes for if they understood they would not have not crucified the Lord of glory (1 Cor 2:8) and we would have no hope of salvation. We see Peter denied Christ three times even after walking with Him closely, see countless miracles, hearing His teaching, and professing He would never deny Him. So let us pray for boldness and courage in the time of testing and witnessing around friends, family, co-workers, etc so that at no time we deny Christ by our actions or words and hear the rooster crow. However, Peter would be restored because Jesus had prayed for Him (Luke 22:31-32). Beloved take heart, if you are numbered among the elect, He prays for you as well.
