Evening: Psalm 9, 15; Mark 14:53-65
Once you decide about someone’s character, it’s hard to change your mind. With Jesus … They made up their minds to accuse him of inciting unrest, or speaking blasphemy, making himself equal to God. Then they invented stories to ‘prove’ themselves right. Laying judgements on others is an ancient human habit. People do it to protect themselves, often out of fear. Those in power seemed to fear the call to justice that Jesus represented, so if they could discredit him, or kill him, they would feel safer. But what Jesus had already accomplished could not be undone.
