Paul in Jerusalem -Before the Sanhedrin (Paul as Roman, Pharisee, Christ's)

Using the events surrounding Paul's appearance before the Sanhedrin, we see Paul's benefits as a Roman, a Pharisee, as a Christian. But his overriding encouragement and identity is in Christ. And we see a wonderful example of a Christian being harmless as a dove but wise as a serpent as a Christian living respectfully but wisely in the world. And we see the loving and faithful encouragement given from the Shepherd to His sheep.
