Matthew 27:12-14; Mark 15:3-5; Luke 23:5-16
This is the first of a two-part study entitled, "The Lamb Before His Shearers," speaking of the Lord Jesus, the True Lamb of God sent to redeem mankind from our sin, as He appeared before the official representatives of Rome in a three-phased "civil" trial. After having failed to find a legitimate indictment against Jesus, the Jewish Sanhedrin Council accused Him of blasphemy when He truthfully claimed to be "the Christ, the Son of God". The condemned Him to die. However, since the Jews did not have the legal authority to exact the death penalty themselves, they had to turn to Rome (although this didn't stop them a little later when it came to stoning Stephen to death). They really wanted Jesus crucified because the Old Testament declared any one who hung from a tree to be "cursed"! They figured this would surely disqualify Him as the Messiah in the eyes of the people. Little did they know how He literally became the curse of sin for you, me, and for them!
