SIX CO-CONSPIRATORS IN THE DEATH OF JESUS (1)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Who Killed Jesus Christ?

a) The death of Jesus Christ involved six co-conspirators, each doing their part to push the process along. Their motives ranged from greed to hatred to duty. They were Judas Iscariot, Caiaphas, the Sanhedrin, Pontius Pilate, Herod Antipas, and an unnamed Roman centurion.

b) Hundreds of years earlier, the Old Testament prophets had said the Messiah would be led like a sacrificial lamb to slaughter. It was the only way the world could be saved from sin. Learn the role each co-conspirator played in the most important trial in history and how each step contributed to the death of Jesus.

2. JUDAS ISCARIOT - Betrayer of Jesus Christ

a) Judas Iscariot was one of Jesus Christ's 12 chosen disciples. The group's treasurer, he was in charge of the common money bag. Scripture tells us Judas betrayed his Master for 30 pieces of silver, the standard price paid for a slave. But did he do it out of greed, or to force the Messiah to overthrow the Romans, as some scholars suggest? Judas went from being one of Jesus' closest friends to a man whose first name has come to mean traitor.


The End ...
