one of Scripture\u2019s greatest tragedies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The leaders possess:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">The Law.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet they fail to recognize the fulfillment of everything they have studied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knowledge alone does not produce faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sanhedrin knows the Scriptures better than almost anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet their hearts remain closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus\u2019 statement reveals that unbelief is rarely caused by insufficient evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More often, it is caused by an unwillingness to submit to the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-son-of-man\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cThe Son of Man\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once again, Jesus calls Himself <strong>the Son of Man<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This title reaches back to Daniel 7, where the Son of Man receives everlasting authority, glory, and a kingdom from the Ancient of Days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By combining this title with the language of sitting at God\u2019s right hand from Psalm 110, Jesus joins two of the most important Messianic passages in the Old Testament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His claim is extraordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He is not merely saying He is Israel\u2019s Messiah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And He is declaring that He shares the authority and glory reserved for God\u2019s eternal King.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sanhedrin understands exactly what He means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is why they immediately shift their question from \u201cAre You the Christ?\u201d to \u201cAre You the Son of

does not offer a more extensive defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The answer lies in His mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus did not come primarily to win an argument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He came to accomplish redemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The evidence for His identity had already been

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional arguments would not change the hearts of those determined to reject Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus speaks enough to reveal the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He refuses to participate in a trial whose outcome has already been settled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator

blasphemy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet the only truly blasphemous act occurring is the rejection of God\u2019s own Son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The very men entrusted with leading Israel toward God reject God when He stands before them in the flesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their verdict does not reveal Christ\u2019s
