GOD MEANS IT FOR YOUR GOOD ~ PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME

"...Ye know nothing at all, Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;" (JOHN 11:49-51)

After hearing Jesus Christ had raised Lazarus from the dead, the council of Jewish leaders held an emergency security meeting. "This man is a security threat; we've got to stop Him before He puts the whole nation at the risk of being destroyed by the Romans. Let's charge Him to the Sanhedrin and silence Him once and for all," some of them said.

Then Caiaphas the high priest spoke up: "Are you all so dumb? Don't you know it is expedient that one person should die for the nation so we would not all perish?"

Caiaphas didn't know it, but he was prophesying. God's anointing was upon him to do so as the high priest. The Bible credits him with this prophecy that Jesus would for the nation, even though he did it in wickedness and ignorance, because after Jesus had resurrected, he bribed the guards to lie that He never rose again but that His body was stolen by His disciples! (Matthew 28:11-14). He even went to the extent of warning the apostles not to so much as mention the Name 'Jesus' again (Acts 4:17-18).

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY AUGUST 26TH 2024 EXTRICATED FROM DEATH …who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME The Bible records that in ancient times, humans lived for exceptionally long periods with lifespans exceeding 900 years. However, as sin increased, lifespans diminished. Genesis 6:3 says because of sin, man's lifespan was limited to 120 years. Moses, in his psalms, made an observation that due to sin, the typical lifespan of man was seventy years or eighty for those who were stronger. Even in old age, man’s life was filled with toil and sorrow, ultimately ending in death (Psalm 90:8-10). The Lord Jesus, however, came to address the root cause of this limitation, which is sin. Through His sacrifice, He provided salvation from sin and made eternal life possible. Eternal life includes “deathlessness.” When you were born again, you passed from death to life (John 5:24). Recall what we read in our them...
