today on Summit Life with Jidi Greer.

Jesus in his trial was identifying with every single one of us that has ever had to undergo

injustice.

Every one of us who has ever been betrayed, overlooked, abused, discriminated against, or mistreated.

He knows what that experience is like, and what this shows us is that he entered into it to show us

that he stood with us in it and that he was promising one day to redeem us from it.

Welcome back to Summit Life with pastor and author J.D. Greer. As always, I'm your host, Molly Vitovich.

If you're just joining us, we are marching toward the cross in our teaching series titled Instead of Me.

Our prayer during this time specifically is that you will see these days that led up to Jesus' death with fresh eyes.

Feel the weight of both his death and the resurrection

so that you can make Jesus the center of everything in your life.

Now, let's join Pastor J.D. as he takes us through the trial of Jesus

in a message he titled, Accused for Me.

We pick up in Matthew 26,57, where we left off.

Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas, who was the high priest, where the teachers

of the law and the elders had assembled.

The chief priest and the whole Sanhedron were looking for false evidence against Jesus

so that they could put him to death.

But they didn't find any, though many false witnesses came forward.

Finally, two came forward and declared, this fellow said, I'm able to destroy the temple of God

and rebuild it in three days. He had, of course, made very clear that he was talking about the

temple as his own body, and they knew that.
