Jesus has shown power over death before, what with the raising of the widow's son and the ruler's daughter. But here, finally, the Pharisees can't take it any more, and they seek Jesus's death in earnest. Why now? The pharisees are afraid that the Romans are going to harm them when all have believed. I guess I don't get it. Jesus has power over DEATH, and the pharisees are afraid of the Romans? They have witnesses miracle after miracle, and are afraid? That doesn't make sense, but I suppose my fears don't make sense either.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear: but of power, and of love, and of sobriety.
It seems the pharisees aren't the only ones who need to check their motivations. (Ever heard the saying every time I point my finger, I have three more pointing back at me? Yep. )
BTW, I heard this song on the radio today for the first time, and I really like it!
