Chapter 17: God on Trial

About this episode

This episode discusses the trial of Jesus, highlighting his betrayal and silence in the face of death.

Chapter 17 of Heroes in the Bible: Jesus with Dr. Tony Evans is inspired by the Gospels. God on Trial - Jesus is betrayed, taken, and put on trial. Jesus spent his whole ministry teaching and standing up to the religious leaders, but now in the face of death, he remains silent - like a lamb to the slaughter. Today's opening prayer is inspired by Luke 23:23, And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
