Sermon Notes

Matthew 26:69-27:14 – The SIX ILLEGAL TRIALS of Jesus (Part 2) reveals that Jesus was denied the equitable, due process of a fair trial. He was arrested, judged, sentenced, then put to death – all without a valid legal procedure or a justifiable reason for His execution.  Jesus was innocent. He committed no crime that would even warrant an arrest – much less a ruling of execution by a high court.  Matthew 26:69-27:14 – The SIX ILLEGAL TRIALS of Jesus (Part 2) expose the mockery of justice in the highest degree. 
 
 
The SIX ILLEGAL TRIALS of Jesus (Part 2) demonstrates the progression of Peter’s sin:

In these illegal trials, we also see Peter’s progression of sin. What began with pride and prayerlessness ultimately turned into the shocking, utter denial of Jesus.

The Apostle Paul wrote:  “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.”
(Romans 7:18, KJV)  https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/rom/7/18/s_1053018
 
The Prophet Isaiah wrote: “But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our RIGHTEOUSNESSES are like filthy rags.”
(Isaiah 64:6, NKJV)  https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/isa/64/6/s_743006

From the Book of Mark it is written:  “ 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”  (Mark 7:21-23, NKJV)  https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/mar/7/21-23/s_964021

The SIX ILLEGAL TRIALS of Jesus (Part 2) shows it’s impossible to follow Jesus from a distance:

CS LEWIS quotes:  “The soul is but a hollow which God fills. Its union with God is,
almost by definition, a continual self-abandonment.” (The Problem with Pain)

MALCOLM MUGGERIDGE Quotes : “I can say that I never knew what joy was like until I gave up pursuing happiness. I never cared to live until I chose to die. For these two discoveries I am beholden to Jesus.”

Your religion is vile to God – unless Jesus is your Lord

The Prophet Zechariah wrote: “12 I said to them, “If it is agreeable to you, give me my wages; and if not, refrain.” So, they weighed out for my wages thirty pieces of silver. 13 And the Lord said to me, “Throw it to the potter” — that princely price they set on me. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the Lord for the potter.” (Zechariah 11:12-13, NKJV)  https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/zec/11/12-13/s_922012
