The Plot To Kill Jesus
Today’s Scripture:
John 11:47-50 “Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the
Sanhedrin. "What are we accomplishing?" they asked. "Here is
this man performing many miraculous signs. If we let him go on like this,
everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both
our place and our nation. "Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high
priest that year, spoke up, "You know nothing at all! You do not realize
that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole
nation perish."(NIV)
Prayer Focus:
Pray that Jesus be made
known to everyone as God's only son who died and forgave them of their sins.
Pray that He brings together and unites all the children of God who are
scattered around the world.

Thank you for challenging us Pastor! I read Day 1 today to my 5 and 3 year old as my wife and I are going to go on this 40 day journey with our kids as well. They learned about the pharisees and their wanting to kill Jesus and that His miracles were helping him gain new followers!

Thanks Pastor, the little booklet doesn't offer a Prayer Focus, so I'm glad that you are :) They really help me dig deeper into the message!
