The Real Reason for Jesus' Execution
Drawing from Mark chapter 14, Pastor Tom will consider the events that transpired the night before and the early morning of Jesus's crucifixion. As we study the narrative, we'll see how the Sanhedrin, Israel's highest court, convened an unlawful middle-of-the-night session to stop Jesus Christ and His preaching and teaching ministry. Yet while doing this, ironically, they proved His complete innocence and confirmed His true identity as the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Friend, let me ask you: are you fighting against Jesus Christ and His lordship, like the Pharisees? Or have you bowed the knee to Christ your Lord? Join Tom Pennington is he uncovers The Real Reason for Jesus' Execution.
The Real Reason for Jesus' Execution - Part 1
At the heart of the Christian faith is the fact that Jesus Christ of Nazareth died on the cross for sins. Of course, the Bible teaches that He didn’t die for His sins—because He hadn't done so. But rather, He died for all those who would ever believe in Him. When we study the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, we see what He endured to save His people from their sins and the wrath of God to come.

Jesus' proven innocence is not merely a biblical-historical fact but the very foundation of the gospel itself; He, in fact, is the spotless Lamb of God who could bear the sins of His people. Today, pastor Tom helps us understand this fundamental truth of the gospel.

After weeks of desperate searching, the chief priests and the entire Council had been unable to produce a single valid charge against Jesus Christ—He was completely innocent. So in one final act of desperation, Jesus was put under oath and asked, "Are You the Christ, the Son of God?" And Jesus responds by identifying Himself as the divine Messiah of the Old Testament.

Jesus Christ Himself declared to be the Son of God and He was raised from the dead as another validation of such a claim. But there are only three options that people face as they consider who Jesus is: a liar, a lunatic, or the Lord. Friend, who do you believe Jesus is? Your eternal life rests on how you respond to such a question.
