BIBLE VERSES

TRIAL OF JESUS

Symbolic of the Christ-soul going through the throes of purification for the sake of the Higher Life. He is first tried by religious systems and creeds, forms of thought from which the spiritual life has fled; and is made to suffer from misinterpretations and false opinions. Then he is reviled by the customs and prejudices of the world, which resents any change for the better. Finally he is condemned by all prevalent thought; for the lower mental qualities neither know nor value the Christ.

In you the King of heaven stands afresh before His judges-Annas, Caiaphas, Pilate and Herod." - R. J. CAMPBELL, Serm., Crucified with Christ.

"Remember Christ in the Judgment Hall, the very symbol and incarnation of spiritual strength; and yet when revilings were loud around Him, and charges multiplied, He held his peace.' - F.W.ROBERTSON, Sermons, 2nd Series, p. 8.
