Day 6 -- The Cross He Bore

Caiaphas is getting more and more ticked off with Jesus. First he tried to muster up some big time liars to accuse Christ of things that were untrue. Now he's confronting Him, by just accusing Christ himself. Now that there is no one to bring accusations against Christ, Caiaphas is beginning to look more and more like the fool he is, so with his last straw, Caiaphas resorts to holding Christ under an oath (do you see anything wrong with that????) and says,

"And the high priest said to Him, 'I adjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God." ~ Matthew 26.63

And NOW Jesus breaks His silence and says,

"You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell you, hereafter you shall see The Son Of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven." ~ Matthew 26.64

"He saw beyond the cross and the resurrection to his glorious return as judge and he saw his enthronement at God's right hand. Never had the members of the Sanhedrin heard a proclamation so majestic as that which fell on their ears when Christ declared his Messiahship and warned of his second advent. But unbelief and prejudice blinded them to the truth."
