God’s Word for Today
7 Aug, 2024
It was now two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to arrest him by stealth and kill him, 2 for they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar from the people.”
Mark 14:1-2 ESV
THE PLOT
The chief priests and scribes were plotting to kill Jesus. According to Matthew, the elders are included in this conspiracy. If they are going to maintain their power, authority, and influence over the people, they need Jesus gone.
These "chief priests" are not official offices ordained by God. They are religious leaders who gain power and take control. Scribes are experts in the Mosaic law, who always argue with Jesus. They are furious because Jesus does not respect their traditional additions to the Mosaic law. Elders, on the other hand, are the well-respected, powerful businessmen of Jerusalem. All are representing the Sanhedrin that determines if someone breaks the law.
Meanwhile at his home, Caiphas, through the providence of God, determined that Jesus should die. He said, “"…it is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish" (John 11:50). He thinks the death of Jesus would prevent an uprising. Resultingly, the Jews will be protected from possible retaliation from the Romans. Unbeknownst to him, it is God’s eternal plan for Jesus to die for the salvation of all nations (see John 11:45–53).
God sovereignly superintends the affairs of man. God allows man to fulfil his wicked plan but not without God’s permission. As Psa 76:10 says,
“Surely the wrath of man shall praise you; the remnant of wrath you will put on like a belt.”
For example, Satan could not touch Job until the Lord allowed him to do so. After his suffering from the evil plot of his brothers, Joseph says, ”As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.”[Gen 50:20] Jesus was not a victim of man’s wrath but a victor through man’s wrath.
