All the chief priests and all the elders agreed to crucify Jesus. He was a threat to their ministry and He didn't agree with them and they were jealous of Him because they couldn't do what He did.
Judas felt remorse and returned the money He was given and went and hanged himself. He had ignored the voice of His conscience for long but couldn't bear it anymore.
Do you ignore the voice of your conscience when it convicts you whenever you are thinking of doing something wrong and also after doing something wrong? Be careful you may end up committing suicide in your spirit. You may not die physically but you'll die spiritually when you continue silencing the voice of your conscience.
The money was used to buy a field to bury strangers as Jeremiah had prophesied.
Every time Jesus was accused, He said nothing but whenever He was asked whether He was the Messiah, He always answered. There was no need to answer His accusers since they were convinced He was worthy of death.
In the same way if someone is determined to destroy you; there is no need of answering them, but whenever they ask about your relationship with God, be a bold witness, don't be ashamed to testify Christ.
There are people who are always looking for something wrong in people; you'll meet them; remain silent. If they found fault with Jesus yet He was perfect and without sin, what about you and I who have so many weaknesses?
The chief priests advised the people to ask for Barabbas who was a murder and Jesus should be crucified.
Jealous is such an evil force that it makes one blind. They were determined that this Jesus had to die no matter the cost. The people also had forgotten all the miracles Jesus did for them.
Are you jealous of someone who is better than you in a certain area?
Are you always thinking of how to destroy His reputation or trying to find something wrong with them?
Pilates wife sent a message that He should have nothing to do with the righteous Jesus because she had a terrible dream. Whenever we are sincere, God always warns us, but if our hearts are full of evil, we become deaf to the voice of God.
Pilate washed His hands saying He was innocent in that matter. Whenever you find people accusing a righteous man, don't join them.
They took Jesus, beat him and took Him to be crucified; stripped Him of His clothes and put a scarlet robe on Him. They knit a crown of thorns and forced it into His head and mocked Him.
They also beat Him on the head and continued mocking Him.
He was given vinegar to drink but he refused because even the cross He wanted to sensitive to the voice of His Father.
We also should value the voice of God that nothing not even suffering will make us not listen to it.
Be always sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit in your heart.
You are blessed to be a blessing
