I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

John 18. “Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound Him and brought Him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year. Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jewish leaders that it would be good if one man died for the people” (Verses 12-14). The irony of what Caiaphas said struck me as interesting. He said, “It is good that one die for all the people.” He correctly summed up the very reason that Jesus came, without knowing it, he was speaking and prophesying the words of God. Jesus came into the world to save it by dying. It truly was good for ONE to die for ALL the people.
Good post …. Prophesying is wild: I am referring specifically of what happens in scripture. For Caiaphas to talk about “one” dying represents the wildness of God, and one way He accentuates what He and the Trinity are about. Keep on writing.
Before reading it today I never realized that verse was there. It is pretty wild. Thanks for sharing and for the encouragement.
