Arrested and Tried

Purposeful Injustice

For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.

Reading:

“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?

What “very precious” something do I have right now that I anticipate breaking for Jesus’ blessing?

What makes me indignant at another servant in his sacrifice and service for the Master?

If it’s the poor I care so much about, why do I not sacrifice for them? (I can do them good whenever I want to, you know.)

What do I do that makes the opposition glad?
