‘Jesus performed many
other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in
this book. But these are written that you may believe that
Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have
life in his name.’ John 20:30-31
It had been a
long and difficult court case. The time had come, though, for the verdict. The
evidence had been presented; the testimony of eye-witnesses heard, and
arguments for and against presented by both sides. No stone was left unturned
and all witnesses were questioned. Now, the jury must reveal its decision.
Twelve previously unconnected individuals, now united around a common purpose,
filed back into their allocated seat in the courtroom.
“Members of the jury. Have you reached a verdict?”
