Matthew 26:59
59The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death.
The
chief priests and Sanhedrin wanted so bad to kill Jesus they were
willing to lie if necessary. Now they tried Jesus in their own court yet
they planned to do so with false evidence. What is false?
Merriam-Webster's Dictionary defines false as 1) not genuine: artificial
2) intentionally untrue 3)adjusted or made so as to deceive 4) tending
to mislead: deceptive 5) not true 6)not faithful. In their own courts,
they were planning to present evidence that was intentionally untrue and
adjusted to deceive. Now the Word says they didn't find any evidence
they could manipulate but false witnesses came forward. What did Jesus
do that was so bad that people wanted to lie on him and deceive others
in order to kill him? Simply put, Jesus told the truth of God, lived and
demonstrated it and had a big following. Not to mention His words
convicted the chief priests and Sanhedrin. In urban terms (Jesus called
them out). Sometimes calling out the falsehood in which someone lives,
walks and talks is simply done by being, doing and saying the opposite.
Jesus was the opposite of everything they were and gave people hope
while the chief priests and Sanhedrin were looking for the spotlight and
those who would idolize them. Are you being and doing the opposite of
those who walk in the world? Is the insecurity that plagues the lives of
those around you causing them to present false evidence against you?
Maybe you just need to change the company you keep. Is it causing false
witnesses to come against you? Keep doing and being the opposite of the
world and those who dare not to follow Christ. Continue to walk boldly
for the Lord. Not that Jesus was laughing but He did and still does get
the victory. When you walk in the ways of Jesus, no matter what
artificial evidence is thrown at you, you will always come out on top.
