SU DAILY GUIDE 23 FEBRUARY 2024 DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE
One would have expected that the miracles and good work Jesus was doing in the community would cause the leaders to rethink their stand. Instead, they were planning to stop Him at all costs, including execution. Even though they acknowledged His good work (v.47), notice the reasons they were determined to stop Him (v.48a). What do you make of this?
Caiaphas spoke prophetically without realizing it (vs.49–51)! It is wonderful what God can do. Note in this case that God used him to speak because of his office (v.51). What lessons are there for us?
It is disheartening to observe that the intrigue against God’s Son was hatched by the very people who should discern the mind of God and lead people to do His will. Such intrigue is not uncommon in the church today – leaders ganging up against those whom God is using to bring needed change in the system. Fights and enmity are prevalent in the church. Are you involved in any of these?
Jesus was certainly not afraid of death (v.54). He must continue His mission until the time appointed for Him to die. His withdrawal was an opportunity to spend quality time with His disciples.
• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
CLOSING PRAYER
Lord, grant me true discernment to understand and always align with your move.
Offer a prayer of faith in line with Isaiah 40:31
