the start of the events to Jesus Death
I am not going to go long like last time. I had a good day at work and in church It went well. I lost my book so I got to find it. In my talks I am going though the book of Matt. We now are going to spend time in a new section and that is the work of Jesus and going to the cross and dying for our sins. Jesus has given the message he is going to give and now it is time to do what he has come to do and that is to pay the cost so we are able to come to him and worship and gain heaven. We now start on the path that is going to bring salvation and grace.
Matt 26 Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, that He said to His disciples, 2 “You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
3 Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people assembled at the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 4 and plotted to take Jesus by trickery and kill Him. 5 But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people.”[1]
Jesus has done the sermons and it is telling the 12 that in the next few days he is going to die. It was kind of a shock to the 12 because they were thinking the end was going to bring Jesus to honor and a new world. Jesus has told them this before and he has made it clear in the times of old. Jesus did not get killed in Gods eyes Jesus willing handed his life over for the people that sinned. It is a cross of love not one of hate like it appears. Jesus was on a mission and that was one to die. Jewish leaders in the time have wanted Jesus dead. They wanted to shut him up because he was not following the laws they made and people liked the Lord. He was a threat to them. Caiaphas was a priest and the ruler and the hate this man has for Jesus is one that is because Jesus is popular and posed a threat to the Jews. In the meeting all the leaders wanted to kill Jesus and get him out of the way. They did not want to kill Jesus in the Passover but God has other plans because the death of Jesus is the Passover this time. In the Jews that would become saved the Passover was going to be gone soon and Jesus was filling May things of the Passover. This Passover was all about the Lord Jesus
