最不公義的審判成就了最偉大的救恩 The Most Unjust Trial Accomplished the Greatest Salvation
耶穌的審判極其不公——祂是被基於虛假證詞而指控的，法官將自身聲譽置於追求公義之上，甚至願意用耶穌來換取一名已被定罪的殺人犯。本週日，張國強牧師將探討這場司法不公如何最終為人類帶來了最偉大的救贖。
Jesus’ trial was deeply unjust: He was there based on false testimony, and the judge cared more about his own reputation than the truth, to the point he was willing to trade Jesus for a convicted murderer. This Sunday, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung explores how this miscarriage of justice brought redemption for all of humanity.

Life Group Discussion Guide
1. Start with a prayer
2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)
- Share a time you went along with a group’s decision even if you knew it wasn’t right. What influenced your choice?
3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)
- Read the passage. What role did the religious leaders and the crowd play in choosing Barabbas over Jesus? What does this reveal about human nature?
- What forms of suffering did Jesus endure from the soldiers? What do these reveal about the weight of sin?
4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)
- In what situations are you tempted to prioritize pleasing people over standing for what is right and true? Where is this rooted?
- How do you respond when you realize that your actions, words, or decisions may have been unjust or hurtful to others?
5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)
- What areas of your life still reflect your old self instead of the new life you have in Christ? What is one practical step you can take to put to death your old self and live out your new identity in Christ?
- Who is someone you can extend grace or forgiveness to, even if they don’t deserve it? How will you show that this week?
6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)
- Praise the Heavenly Father for accomplishing the greatest salvation through what seemed like the most unjust trial. Thank Him that even though we were like Barabbas—guilty and deserving of judgment—Jesus took our place and bore our punishment on the cross. Rejoice that through Christ, our sins are forgiven, our old self is crucified, and we are given new life. Thank Him for His grace that continues to pursue us and for His constant intercession on our behalf.
- Repent for the times you have chosen to please people instead of standing firm in truth, and for the moments you have acted unjustly in your thoughts, words, or actions. Ask for forgiveness for taking the sacrifice of Jesus lightly and for living as if your old self still has control. Pray that you would truly die to sin and live in the new life Christ has given you, with a heart that is quick to repent, willing to obey, and committed to walk in truth and righteousness.
