Don’t Worry He’s Sovereign: Trial (Mark 14:53-72)

Christ’s arrest did not really go that smoothly considering all that happened.  It was not carried out in stealth, it was not after the feast of unleavened bread, and ironically Christ told them how they could have executed this arrest with greater precision.  Christ told them that if they quietly escorted Christ out of the temple it would have gone a lot smoother.  If the leaders of Israel desire to maintain credibility they better hope that the trial goes much better.  So, does the trial go better?  Is there proof against Christ that grounds their claims that He is a legitimate problem?  Or is this another example where fallen man cannot competently conspire against the Lord?
