5-29-24 Unlawful Conviction;
Last week I laid out the foundation of a Sanhedrin trial and process in order to convict someone of a crime. How merciful the system was and how it focused on innocence not guilt. I explained who Annas was in John’s account, and former high priest with a lot of muscle and still highly influential in the high court of the Sanhedrin. Caiaphas the son in law to Annas is high priest at this time so Jesus was set up from the beginning. It is also worthy of noting that Annas and Caiaphas were Sadducees which means that they didn’t believe in the resurrection, anything to do with the spirit world, the authority of the scripture with the exception of the Pentateuch. They may have plotted and were the master minds behind this, but it was God’s plan for it to happen this way. Let me summarize four points from last week:
a) The illegal arrest of Jesus – The arrest of Jesus was illegal
according to Hebrew law for four reasons:
b) The Hebrew law forbade any trial or arrest to happen at night, especially for those that were to be tried for capital punishment. It was probably around midnight that in the gospel accounts we see that they came with lanterns and torches:
John 18:3 (NIV)
3 So Judas came to the grove, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.
c) If Judas was deliberately placed among the disciples, this too would be illegal because it was forbidden to use a traitor or an accomplice to aid and abet.
d) The arrest of Jesus was not legal because there was not legal summons to do so.
e) It was also illegal according to Hebrew law to bind an un-condemned man. In John’s account, Jesus was bound and taken away:
John 18:12 (NIV)
12 Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound him

4-17-24 Solution To The Worlds Problems Hosea 6-1
God has a message for the world through this experience with Hosea. God wanted to this personal story and relate it to another tragic love story we see so often in the bible. It is the love story of God and His children. It shows the painful love that God has for us, His people and that he loves them even when they are prostituting themselves with the world. God could have simply proclaimed that Israel was like a wife to Him, but to have someone living out what it looks like gives a colorful illustration of God’s commitment, love, compassion, sacrifice, along with His righteousness, fury, anger, wrath, and judgment. God wanted to use Hosea to live it out as an example to how God feels toward His people.

Destroying the Jericho in your Life Part I (Joshua 1-6)
Until someone gives their life to Jesus Christ, their heart is like that of Jericho, desolate, lost, hopeless, and corrupt. The things that cloud the heart is like the city of Jericho, totally lost! The things of the world in the heart have to be totally destroyed in order to be saved into eternal life. Outside of believing in Christ, the heart is stranded in the wilderness just wondering around without any direction. You think you have a good cause, you think you are defending Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion but in reality you are destroying yourself and those around you. The only good in the heart is what you allow Jesus to put in there. Without Jesus the heart is a desolate wasteland, it is a Jericho with walls around it because you won’t tear down the walls and let Him in and be Lord of your life

3-29-24 Episode 6 Good Friday The Corrupt Courts
The Trial and Execution of Jesus is the biggest violation of human rights that has ever taken place. For when the law givers disregard their own laws and the Law of God, for personal gain and self righteousness, then every bit of justice is violated. Human rights are tramped on, and there is a complete mockery of justice. When the law givers produce a fabricated lie, put someone on trial to try to get them to perjure themselves, and make up false accusations by false witnessing you no longer have justice, especially in the eyes of God. The law givers, the religious leaders of Jesus day wanted Jesus out of the way, but they couldn’t find anything against Him, they brought in false witnesses and false testimonies and fabricated a reason to put Him to death.

3-24-24 Palm Sunday Bible Study: The Illegal Arrest of Jesus
Corruption runs deep and when people didn't want Jesus around, the broke every law to put Him on the cross. This is a great time to remember what Jesus did for us, but also to remember the condition of the heart of man.

3-24-24Jesus Passionate Cry: Through Me You Will Live (John 12)
Palm Sunday, the day that we remember about Christ coming into Jerusalem. It’s a time that we remember the Lord, Jesus Christ, what He did, what He said, Who He was The entire ministry of Jesus was preparing people for eternity. Jesus pointed the way to heaven through all He did. Through the parables Jesus was speaking about heaven, through Hi miracles He was showing the miraculous healing of heaven, through His actions He was pointing to heaven, and through His life He brought heaven down to us that through Him all could be saved. Jesus always pointed the way to heaven, He always glorified God, He always told people of Himself about who he was and what He had come to do. He told everyone this when He took the scroll of Isaiah and read from chapter 61:
Luke 4:16–21 (NKJV)
16 So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. 17 And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:
18 “The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.”
20 Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. 21 And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

3-22-24 No Law, No Justice
We are living in a world where those who are chosen to enforce the law, break the law for their own gain and benefit. We are suppose to be a society of laws, but when lawfare is used against its citizens, the government is not longer legitimate.
