From a young age, we expect and even demand what we believe is fair. In contrast, Jesus embraced the ultimate miscarriage of justice—his conviction and execution—to accomplish our redemption. As Alistair Begg shows in this message from John chapter 18, Christ’s response in the face of utter lawlessness is instructive for us when we feel we have been treated unjustly.
12So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews4 arrested Jesus and bound him. 13First they yled him to zAnnas, for he was the father-in-law of aCaiaphas, who was high priest that year. 14It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews bthat it would be expedient that one man should die for the people.
19gThe high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching. 20Jesus answered him, “I have spoken hopenly ito the world. I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together. jI have said nothing in secret. 21Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them; they know what I said.” 22When he had said these things, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, k“Is that how you answer the high priest?” 23Jesus answered him, “If what I said is wrong, bear witness about the wrong; but if what I said is right, why do you strike me?” 24lAnnas then sent him bound to lCaiaphas the high priest.
