One man die for the people

John 11:47-57
"What are we accomplishing?" the chief and Pharisees called a meeting, they asked for they were afraid Jesus performing many miraculous signs, then everyone will believe in him, they will lost their land and nation.
The high priest Caiaphas said that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish. He prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish nation.
From that day on they plotted to take Jesus life.
Therefor Jesus no longer moved about publicly among the Jews. He withdrew to a region near the desert.
When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, many kept looking for Jesus.
Why?
Jesus's miraculous sign is significant and not one can do it before, so the chief and Pharisees afraided Jesus for he might threaten their benefit.
Many people looking for Jesus, some of them were they looking for Jesus' message, some for their sick healing, some for their food and some tried to take his life.
The raising of Lazarus is decisive- for faith and life on the one hand; for hatred and death on the other.
How?
Mercy men are those who have chosen by the Lord, they believed in Jesus, they have the faith and life. others have hatred and death for their sins.
Keeping looking for Jesus and follow His words. Blessing will pursues us.
