Live to Love Scripture Encouragement John 11.53

John 11:53 So from that day on they planned together to kill Him. The Pharisees made their evil plans as God established their steps. John wants his readers to understand that God accomplished His purposes through evil men who thought they were in control. God was working toward His greatest display of love and glory in the death and resurrection of His son. In the affairs of men it looked like darkness was prevailing, but in reality and truth, the stage was being set for the greatest revelation of God in all the history of mankind. May this encourage us that every situation is an opportunity to trust God and love with Jesus.
