John 11:49-52 (click the ref to read) As we come close to the days we celebrate or remember Jesus death and resurrection, I think it is good to ponder the words of the High Priest in this passage. His words were prophetic. As we read the passage, we realize that Jesus did not die in futility, but with purpose. He not only died for Israel, but also to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
We must remember, there is only one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus. Don't be lured into thinking that somehow you can mediate your own case before God or that someone or something can. It is only Jesus that can and He has. Let's celebrate and worship Him. If you are unsure of what Jesus has done for you or how you can appropriate what he has done, let me know.
Pastor Paul
