For the Joy: The Trial

Mar 9, 2024    Kessia Reyne Bennett

After he was taken by the violent crowd, Jesus spent Thursday night in front of the religious council. Inside the meeting place he was accused, lied about, blindfolded, spit upon, beaten, and mocked. Outside the building Peter was denying him. Through it all Jesus maintained his divine dignity, and did so with a composure born from his steadfast joy. His silence was our salvation.
