29th.: Disbelief
The Jewish leaders arrested Jesus. They interrogated him.
”Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, ‘Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?’
And Jesus said, ‘I am. And you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.’
Then the high priest rent his clothes, and said, ‘What need we any further witness? You have heard the blasphemy. What think you?’ And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.” (Mark 14:61b-64).
They did not believe Jesus’ claims that he was the Messiah.
Nor did they believe the testimony of the Jesus' supernatural works (see John 5:36).
Nor did they change their minds (repent),
when the disciples later went around claiming that they had seen Jesus after he had risen from the dead.
We have a choice to make. Will we choose to believe Jesus, when we ask? How will we come to Jesus?
“For had they known it [the mystery of God] they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” (1st Cor. 2:8))
