Who is Jesus? The Gospel of John, Part 24
Jesus is the Enemy of Evil
John 11:45-50 NLT
Many of the people who were with Mary believed in Jesus when they saw this happen.But some went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.Then the leading priests and Pharisees called the high council together. “What are we going to do?” they asked each other. “This man certainly performs many miraculous signs.If we allow him to go on like this, soon everyone will believe in him. Then the Roman army will come and destroy both our Temple and our nation.”Caiaphas, who was high priest at that time, said, “You don’t know what you’re talking about!You don’t realize that it’s better for you that one man should die for the people than for the whole nation to be destroyed.”
John 11:51-57 NLT
He did not say this on his own; as high priest at that time he was led to prophesy that Jesus would die for the entire nation.And not only for that nation, but to bring together and unite all the children of God scattered around the world.So from that time on, the Jewish leaders began to plot Jesus’ death.As a result, Jesus stopped his public ministry among the people and left Jerusalem. He went to a place near the wilderness, to the village of Ephraim, and stayed there with his disciples.It was now almost time for the Jewish Passover celebration, and many people from all over the country arrived in Jerusalem several days early so they could go through the purification ceremony before Passover began.They kept looking for Jesus, but as they stood around in the Temple, they said to each other, “What do you think? He won’t come for Passover, will he?”Meanwhile, the leading priests and Pharisees had publicly ordered that anyone seeing Jesus must report it immediately so they could arrest him.
When you feel like your emotions are pushing you to a place where you are overreacting in ways that don’t reflect who you are in Christ, or you feel stuck in sorrow or thoughts of fear or shame = Remind yourself of THREE Biblical truths about God:
1. God is at work to accomplish His purposes in the WORLD.
2. God is at work to accomplish His purposes in your LIFE.
3. God LOVES you!
Romans 8:1-39
NEXT STEPS:
Take some time today (this week) to reflect on your emotional intelligence (are there emotions that you need to ask God to help you get a better handle on? )
Take some time to reflect on what God might be doing in your life right now to draw you into a relationship with him or make you more like Jesus.
Take some time to reflect and express some emotional gratitude to God for his incredible love and grace over your life.
