Providing crucial details about the law in Jesus’ time and how it compares to our own legal system, two respected pastors give careful attention to each stage of the judicial process Jesus endured. As you hear the evidence and weigh the testimony against him, you will find yourself drawn into the role of a juror. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of Jesus and what it meant for him to claim that he was “Christ, the Son of the Blessed One.” And as you are riveted by the hows and whys of the jury findings, you will develop a new perspective on how and why Christ died for his people.
