Jesus' arrest and trial were entirely unfair and unjust. Despite his innocence, he endured betrayal from one of his closest followers and persecution by both religious and political leaders. In the face of this unjust treatment, Peter responded with violence, but Jesus exemplified meekness and controlled strength. As followers of Christ, we will inevitably face unfair situations where we feel mistreated or persecuted. How we choose to respond in these moments has the power to either reflect or reject God's kingdom.
