    “Repent and be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” That is what Peter told the crowd gathered on the day of Pentecost. What he was really doing was inviting them into a covenantal relationship with the Lord and sharing the conditions of the covenant.

    Just before Peter started his sermon on Pentecost the crowd asked him a question, “what does this mean?” And at the conclusion of his sermon the same crowd asked another question, “what shall we do?” They were taken from curiosity to conviction.

    In this sermon Tony walks us through Jesus' last two trials, before Herod and Pilate. It is a violent, chaotic, unjust, unlawful, scene. But there is something bigger happening than all that we see or perceive. There is a much bigger story, eternal, supernatural, story unfolding which has been authored by God. God is the architect of everything that is happening to Jesus.

    Walking in the Truth

    When Pilate asked Jesus “what is truth” it was because Jesus said He was in the world to testify to truth, and everyone who is of truth listened to His voice.

    Jesus is shackled and chained. He is led off to begin the six trials that He must go through before being crucified. The lesson in all of this for us? It is after Peter denies Jesus three times and Jesus turns and looks at him. What did that look mean? What did Jesus communicate when He looked at Peter? It caused Peter to “weep bitterly” and maybe it is the same look we get from Him when we sin.
