The Price of Terror

We just came out of an unusual Easter Celebration.

Jesus was murdered by the rulers of his age because they feared the Roman's. 

The Apostle John reports this conversation:
John 11:49
But one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all! 50You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.” 51Caiaphas did not say this on his own. Instead, as high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the nation,…

Who put that idea in Caiaphas's head.  That they would railroad Jesus.  We know that it was always going to be so in the rear view mirror.  It was prophsied.

YET...

Fear drives people to desperate measures.

Fear drove the Nazis to murder 6 million because Hitler by his demonic anointing was able to pursuade a nation that Jews weren't  human, that they were responsible for all sorts of evil things and deserved to die.

Fear has caused death and distruction globally for millenia.  Lies from  the pit of hell creates terror.

Now we have another terror.. disease... Pestilence.  It's real... People are dying... yet.. fewer than was thought.  The fear is real.. let us be wary of not allowing it to control us into doing something really stupid.

Like the ENEMY did when he persuaded Caiaphas to kill Jesus... and Jesus defeated the enemy of death 3 days later when he rose from the tomb.  Let us be aware that the enemy shoots himself in the foot every time.  Let GOD arise and His enemies..  SCATTER
