The Six Trials of Jesus by John Lawrence.
There has never been another twenty-four hour period like this before in all of time, and there shall never be another. Everything in Scripture moves either toward this day, or everything moves away from it. It stands as the one plus ultra of time.
Something of the importance of this day can be seen by taking a moment to examine the extent to which Scripture covers it at length. For instance, in the four Gospels we have 4 chapters devoted to the first thirty years of CHRIST's life, while we have 85 chapters devoted to the last three and a half years He was on this earth. The emphasis is clearly on the last week and these trials are the emphasis of the HOLY SPIRIT's writing of Scripture in reference to the life of CHRIST.
Take time to meditate upon these things. Re-live them in your life. Become familiar with everything that happened and you will be richly rewarded. Having concluded the study of these trials we will endeavor to discover why so much space is devoted to them. The message is vital, and, furthermore, it is practical.
