The plot is quite simple - Kill Jesus any way we can - he's threatening our power, position and prestige. Ironically the religious leaders missed that the passover was a time to remember God saving them so he could lead them. Here again God is trying to save them through Jesus but they kill him because they refuse to be led. In God's amazing wisdom he uses their very treachery to save them.
Think about the grace of God - he sends a savior - we kill him then he uses that murder to save us - WOW!
Judas was overcome with greed. How many times are we around Jesus because we're using Jesus?
questions
1) what are you fearful God might take from you if you totally sold out to him?
2) how have you been using Jesus?
prayer
Father - your kindness leads us to repentance. We want you to clean us up. We want our hearts pure - pour out your glory on us Lord!
