As you slept last night… Jesus was betrayed in the Garden by one of his disciples, Judas (Luke 22:47-48). Jesus was then taken to the former high priest, Annas (John 18:13). Jesus, the King of the Jews, was bound and delivered to Caiaphas, the reigning high priest who just happens to be the son-in-law of Annas. Then, Jesus was taken before the Sanhedrin – the group of elite religious leaders who were modeled after a council of elders that Moses convened to administer justice in order to keep Israel pure before their God (see Numbers 11:16). Throughout each event, Jesus – the Christ of God, is tied up… bound by the humanity that He had created and had come to rescue. Is this really a “Good” Friday?
