Jesus Was Rejected, 18

 

~ Slandered In Court, 3 ~

This Series ~ Jesus Christ came to earth to save sinners. He lived a sinless life. He was a truly righteous man. But He was rejected by mankind. He died a cruel, painful death as a penalty for our sins. Those who now accept Him and trust Him for eternal salvation will live forever with Him without any more pains or sadness.

 

Scripture ~ “Then they secretly induced men to say, ‘We have heard him (Stephen) speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.’

 

¹² “And they stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes; and they came upon him, seized him, and brought him to the council.

 

¹³ “They also set up false witnesses who said, ‘This man does not cease to speak blasphemous words against this holy place and the law; ¹⁴ for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs which Moses delivered to us.’

 

¹⁵ And all who sat in the council, looking steadfastly at him, saw his face as the face of an angel” (Acts 6:11-15).

Scripture ~ “Then the whole multitude of them arose and led Him to Pilate. ² And they began to accuse Him, saying, ‘We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that He Himself is Christ, a King.’

 

³ “Then Pilate asked Him, saying, ‘Are You the King of the Jews?’ He answered him and said, ‘It is as you say.’

 

⁴ “So Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, ‘I find no fault in this Man.’

 

⁵ “But they were the more fierce, saying, ‘He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place’” (Luke 23:1-5).
