About this listen

What does Jesus do in His trial? Matthew 26:57–75 looks forward to the morning sermon in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In these ten verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that, at His trial, Jesus openly confesses Himself to be the Son of God, even as He was giving Himself to die for us. The devotional centers on the contrasting responses of Jesus and Peter during Jesus' trial, highlighting Jesus' unwavering truthfulness under pressure, in stark contrast to Peter's denials. Christ's faithfulness remains unshaken even in the face of injustice. Peter's threefold denial, culminating in bitter weeping, serves as a sobering reminder of human frailty and the danger of fearing man over God, yet it also points to the necessity of relying on Christ as our righteousness and new life. Pastor calls his family to imitate Christ's trust in God's justice, to confess Him boldly despite cost, and to look to His Spirit to transform us, so that we may endure suffering with faith and humility, knowing that Christ bore our punishment so we might be made righteous.
