Title: Substitute
Text: Mark 14:53-15:15

Notes:

• The Trial of Jesus was an illegitimate, illegal trial.
• In verse 62, both of the biblical allusions Jesus makes about himself show the Messiah coming as a judge.
• The gospel says we are more wicked than we could ever believe, but more loved and accepted in Christ than we could ever hope.
• The blameless one was blamed so the blameworthy can go free.
