The Passover of the Jews was near

Joh 11:45-57

The transition between the raising of Lazarus from the dead (in Bethany)…

and the anointing of Jesus by Mary
(also in Bethany).

Jesus retires to the countryside with his disciples.

First, the council launched an all-out effort to arrest Jesus and put Him to death.

Second, many Jews were coming to believe in Jesus.

Third, many Jews were gathering in Jerusalem for the Passover.

When Jesus returns, He will find Himself directly in the path of this storm.

They didn’t care about justice. They just wanted to get rid of their problem.

There are seven sins which are an abomination to the Lord.

Pro 6:16-19

Caiaphas and his co-conspirators committed every one of them.

The Lord decides the fate of the nation and her leaders – not the Romans.

Jer 7:3-7

Caiaphas spoke only to persuade the others to agree to his wicked plan.

Joh 11:49-52

By condemning Jesus to death, he ensured that Jesus would be glorified to the max.

Joh 12:23-24

What Caiaphas meant for great evil God meant for unfathomable good.

Act 2:22-24

Jesus would die not only for Israel but also for the people of every other nation.

Joh 11:51-52

Caiaphas unknowingly proclaimed the central tenet of Christianity:

the unlimited, substitutionary atonement of Christ.

1. The death of Christ was the atoning sacrifice for sin.

2. Jesus died as the substitute for
(in place of) sinners.

3. He died for the sins of the whole world. He died for very person-no exceptions.

1. The death of Christ was the atoning sacrifice for sin.

Mat 26:27-28
Joh 1:29

2. Jesus died as the substitute for
(in place of) sinners.

Isa 53:5-6
1Co 15:3-4
2Co 5:14-15
