Live to Love Scripture Encouragement John 11.49-50

John 11:49-50 But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all, nor do you take into account that it is expedient for you that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish." Caiaphas got it but didn’t. He rightly recognized that Jesus’ death could be the means of salvation for the nation, but was totally blind to the salvation God would accomplish. That’s how Satan’s temptations work. Suggest that the evil planned is really good and advantageous. It tripped up Adam and Eve, and it worked with the Pharisees. Be on guard for a spirit that reasons it’s a good thing to harm people for a greater collective good. Also be amazed at the wisdom and knowledge of God who uses Satan’s lies to accomplish eternal redemption, reconciliation, and glorify His son.
