Why did the high priest view it as blasphemy when Jesus acknowledged that he was the Christ, the Son of God?

The H.priest considered Jesus` words blasphemy because he did not Know the nature and power of God. Jesus is operating in a spiritual realm, while the priest and his colleagues are operating on the carnal.It is truly blasphemous for Jesus, whom they `know` his parentage, to claim divinity / Godly authority, according to the law. Just like the priests, we are also to be pitied for our short-sightedness, which makes us deny the power of the All powerful God, for Nothing is Impossible with god.

What made Peter so afraid to be identified with Jesus? Why are many people today still afraid to identify with Jesus?

Fear of consequences made peter deny the truth.Just like us when we are caught in a tight corner, Peter refuses to admit the Truth.The Bible tells us that the Truth will set us free , so let us strive to tell the truth.Imagine how angry we get when we discover that someone has lied /cheated us! and this is what we do to God, whenever we fail to identify with the calling he has Called us to!Yet he is so kind and loving, and Always forgives us , even when we fail.!Thank you Jesus for loving us so, and for forgiving us even when we so openly deny you.

What made Peter so afraid to be identified with Jesus? Why are many people today still afraid to identify with Jesus?

Peter was so afraid because he didn`t want what befell Jesus to befall him.The thought of a dying Master was more than he could imagine, since he had seen Jesus work with might and power-if such a powerful Jesus was here being so maltreated, Peter couldn`t face such-He feared for his life.Many people today are still afraid to identify with Jesus because when one is a follower of Jesus, people have great expectations, and many of us are usually afraid of failing to live upto expectations. Again, people are afraid to identify with christ so that you can fit with the crowd, and also so that when you are `caught` you will be sympathized with, because you are just like them-one of them-when you are one of the rest, there is acceptance, but when you are different, there is isolation.In this case, we want to be like the rest, regardless of who we are, and what we know, and when we join in the crowds, like Peter, we deny and betray Jesus.
