This sermon explores the arrest, trial, and conviction of Jesus Christ, showing the profound injustice he endured and his unwavering faithfulness. Through an examination of key moments—his mocking and beating, the Sanhedrin’s verdict, and his encounters with Pilate and Herod—we see Jesus’ identity as the Son of God and God's Christ provoke rejection, yet fulfill the divine plan. We consider two purposes in his suffering: an example of steadfast faith for believers and a substitutionary sacrifice for our sin. In this we are called to trust in Christ’s faithfulness and embrace him as both Savior and Lord.
