Mark 14:53-72 - Grand Jury

One of the central commands of the old testament was to be careful not to be like the nations, who were being pushed out in front of them. However, they always wanted to have a king like the nations. God worked for the years to bring Israel into His kingdom, and with that we arrive with Messiah in front of Sanhedrin.

So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
