God Quote-The Testimony of Jesus
JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the LORD says in Matthew 26, verse 64.
Jesus was responding to a statement by the high priest in front of the Sanhedrin, “Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.”
Jesus replied, “You have said so. But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
The high priest responded by tearing his clothes and saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses?”
That was the charge against Jesus that led to His crucifixion. His claim to be the Messiah was rejected by the religious leaders.
John 1:11 and 12 tells us that Jesus came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
Matthew 26:64-that’s Today’s God Quote for us to embrace for life.
