Episode Details

We expect trials to be forums for justice. When the rules are followed, clear evidence given and unbiased judges oversee, we expect a fair result. In today's message, Dr. John demonstrates that the trial of Jesus lacked all of these things. Justice would not come from this corrupt court. In history's greatest irony, the innocent condemned would be the means of God's justice for all.

The Death and Resurrection of Jesus: In this series of messages, Dr. John points us to the Gospel of Matthew for the account of Jesus' final days. We hear from an eyewitness, a martyr of Jesus. Matthew bears witness to the words, actions and significance of Jesus' death and resurrection. Listen afresh to a story you already know - then we too are to bear witness. We are to be living martyrs, daily witnesses of the good news of Jesus Christ.
