As we know from the Gospel accounts Jesus was arrested in Gethsemane and taken to the house of the High Priest.
Here He was subjected to His first trial. It was rigged.
At one point in the proceedings Caiphas blurted out "Tell us plainly, are you the Christ the Son of the Blessed?"
Jesus replied: "I am and you shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power and coming in the clouds of heaven."
On that confession Jesus was condemned to death.
Twenty years ago a group of eminent Jewish theologians revisited the case of Jesus before the High Priest and declared what happened to be a mistrial.
Oh really!
In that case let us all embrace His confession and live our lives accordingly.
In fact you can start right now by saying: "Lord Jesus, I believe indeed that you are the Christ the Son of God and I intend to live my life as true Christian."
If you have done that for the first time you have begun your journey to heaven.
Jubilate.
