“So the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death also, because
on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.” John 12:10-11
We come across these
verses with a very scary conspiracy from the chief priests. Men who served God,
led the people and had knowledge about the Holy Scriptures were planning to
kill two men: the Lord Jesus and Lazarus. Those who “defended” the law given by
God to Moses, now intended to break it without any remorse. Or doesn’t the Law
say “Thou shalt not kill?”
We see that the feast of
Passover was near and many of the people were already coming to Jerusalem to
purify themselves (John 11:55). But while the people sanctified themselves, the
priests who were to set the example, were planning something terrible.
The fear of losing their
religious power was so much that they were willing to commit a terrible act
against whom they considered a threat to their purposes. It is very sad when
the person thinks that he is spiritual being totally of the flesh.
And how many people when
they feel threatened to lose a responsibility, a title or a position, begin to
speak lies, become jealous, have evil eyes, malice and even slander those who they
think are occupying the place that should be theirs.
They begin to plot evil
against someone committing the same error as those priests. At that moment what
they have always condemned because it’s against the Word of God, now in a
difficult moment of their life, they do it! It is easy to live the faith when
all is well, but what are your reactions in the deserts of life? Do you remain
faithful to the Word or act in the flesh by forgetting the Law of God?
Many people think that
they will achieve spiritual things using fleshy means and that is IMPOSSIBLE. Do
not think that by harming someone and being unfair you will get something from
God. We must live what we believe and teach, and that is true for good and bad
times of our lives.
God bless you all!
