Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people assembled at the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, and plotted to take Jesus by trickery and kill Him. But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people.” Matthew 26:3 – 5
Lord, You had just told Your disciples this was going to happen and now we hear Matthew telling us what You already knew. It is obvious by reading these scriptures that it was not the general population that wanted to do away with You but the priests, scribes and the elders. You were far to popular and it made them afraid of what You might do having such a large crowd following You.
Oh how I thank and praise You that I am one of those followers.
Thank You that even today I can read Your words and listen to Your still small voice within.
What a gift that is!
Thank You! Thank You Lord.
