Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — As Jesus stood trial before the Jewish leaders and Pilate, it was more than just Jesus who was being tried: the others around him, enemies and disciples alike, were on trial too, their hearts being revealed. Their actions would prove their devotion to God or their corruption. At the final judgment, we too will be judged based on our actions—with grace and forgiveness, for those who are in Christ, but not for those who do not live for him. These trials that happened as Jesus himself stood trial warn us to live for God now, so that at the judgment our actions may testify to our devotion to him. Text: Mark 14:53 to 15:15
