First they (soldiers, captains, officers) let Him (Jesus) to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was the high priest that year. It was Caiaphas who had given counsel to the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. John 18:13, 14
Jealous people. Lord all of this was happening because You were becoming too popular and taking all the attention. People were following You. This was all driven by fear. Fear that the officials of the day were loosing their footing with the people because they were following You.
Oh how jealousy can creep into our lives and cause us to act in ways that are not like You want us to be.
It is so easy to have it sneak into our lives Lord. How we need Your tender nudges to bring us back to focusing upon what You want us to be and not what we see that we want.
Thank You Lord for Your unconditional love that is oh so patient as You draw us back to Yourself.
Thank You for Your gentle nudges.
Thank You Lord.
