How One Bible Verse Disarmed a Mob

Summary

This sermon examines how Jesus skillfully diffused a mob attempting to stone him for blasphemy by quoting Psalm 82:6. Jesus uses this Old Testament scripture, which refers to human judges as "gods," to argue against the accusation that he commits blasphemy by calling himself the Son of God. The takeaway is that scripture can be a powerful tool to clarify truth and de-escalate conflict, even in the face of angry accusations.
