Why Didn't Jesus Defend Himself? By Rick Warren "But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him, 'Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?'" (Mark 14:61 NIV) What's so important about Easter? It's important because it proved that Jesus was who he claimed to be. He was God in the flesh, and he came to Earth to save us. Three events occurred in dramatic succession on that Easter weekend: the trial of Jesus, then the death of Jesus, and finally the Resurrection of Jesus. Jesus actually went through six trials. In that one night, he was brought before Annas (the father-in-law of Caiaphas), Caiaphas (the high priest), the Sanhedrin (the religious Supreme Court), Pilate (the governor of Jerusalem), Herod (the governor of Galilee), and then Pilate again. |
