Mark 14:61 “But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”
What must be understood here is that if Jesus answered this question honestly his trial was over. And why? Because it was blasphemy for a person to claim to be the Son of God. Unless, of course, that person was actually the Son of God. However, this truth was hidden from them because of their sinful unbelief. So, the high priest was asking Jesus to, in thier minds, incriminate himself. And Jesus obliged. This trial was a farce. Even their star witnesses could not condemn him. And they resorted to asking the accused to incriminate himself. They were desperate.
Heavenly Father, thank you for being honest with us! Your Word is full of truth for us. Thank you for it! We don’t have to doubt. You are worthy of our absolute devotion. You are worth so much! We cannot ever thank you enough for revealing yourself to us. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
