Sometimes we use the term clown court to describe proceedings that are so out of whack that it’s impossible to find true justice. If ever there was a picture of that, it’s these so-called trials that Jesus endures from the time of His arrest til His crucifixion. And of all things, it is spear-headed by the religious establishment of His day, the very people who claimed to be awaiting God’s Messiah. They took this Messiah and put Him on trial for His life.
