The Calm

"Jesus saith unto him, Thou has said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.  Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses?"  Matthew 26: 64, 65

Jesus was the defendant in a crooked trial.  Everyone knew He would be condemned.  Yet, He stood there in complete peace.  Caiaphas on the other hand was the judge.  The law gave him power and protection.  Yet, he lost all composure.  What a contrast,; Jesus standing before Caiaphas;  the Calm before the storm.
