Purposeful Injustice
For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.
Mark 14:56
Reading:
Mark 14:43-59
“And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely” (Mark 14:44).
Do I think my loyalty to Jesus is a given — no circumstance exists in which I would become the next Judas?
What small betrayals do I overlook or excuse or mislabel?
Do I expect others to defend me and stand up for me — and resent them when they don’t?
When do I pursue my own interests…at the expense of justice?
How must I handle “those” who have witnessed falsely against me?
What must I do when I know someone is giving an inaccurate report about another?
