Good Friday walk with the cross around Banchory
We stop at the traffic lights on the junction with Raemoir Road
Mark 14:53-65 New (NIV) |

53 They took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests, the elders and the teachers of the law came together. 54 Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. There he sat with the guards and warmed himself at the fire.
55 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any. 56 Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree. 57 Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him: 58 “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with human hands and in three days will build another, not made with hands.’” 59 Yet even then their testimony did not agree. 60 Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” 61 But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?” |

62 “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”63 The high priest tore his clothes. “Why do we need any more witnesses?” he asked. 64 “You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?” They all condemned him as worthy of death.
65 Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And the guards took him and beat him.

Something to think about
The Trial of Jesus
This morning we went to Jesus trial
It was time for Him to be judged.
Last night we had a word with the panel
I'm afraid they wouldn't budge.
It was time for the scores. He got a zero, a Four
So no place for them in heaven
But after the four, one man wasn't sure
and he gave Jesus a seven

Let us Pray
And can it be, that I should gain
an interest in the Saviour's blood?
Died he for me, who caused him pain-
for me, who him to death pursued?
Amazing love! how can it be
that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Jesus stand among us
As the vulnerable one
Healed by your brokenness,
may we take up the cross of those in need..
Amen
