It was as high priest that he made this prophecy that Jesus was to die for the nation – and not for the nation only, but to gather together in unity the scattered children of God.
Jn.11:51,52
Caiaphas the High Priest unwittingly prophesies Jesus ultimate triumph. Jesus' death on the cross was and is a victory to be claimed by all humanity who have faith to grasp it.
Holy Week is about to play out the drama of injustice, treachery, envy, hatred, cruelty, abandonment and then... victory. It's a week to enter the sorrow of my despicable role in the affair while keeping one eye firmly on the outcome. Resurrection! The dawn is coming.
Thank you Jesus for dying that I may live!
