Final remarks

Jesus said that he was the Son of God. The Jewish leaders did not believe him because they did not really want to follow God. If he was not telling the truth, he was a wicked man. Then he deserved to die. But if he was telling the truth, he did not deserve to die. The guards followed their leader and they showed the worst kind of cruelty to Jesus. But Jesus did not complain.

Pray

Lord Jesus, help me to think for myself. And help me not to do what bad people do. Help me to know and to do what is right. Amen.
