—John 11:47-53
by: Tim Bond.
We are all too aware of certain modern politicians who stir up enemies to the point where they want to destroy the politicians. To understand this comparison, one must accept that Jesus and the Jews were not merely believers of a religious faith. They were also members of the Jewish nation, which had been conquered by the Roman Empire. Thus, there was political logic to Caiaphas suggesting that Jesus should die to save the nation. However, as Christians look back, both religiously and historically, we realize that Caiaphas only saw half of the picture. He had no idea of the saving result of executing the Son of God.
