Listen "The Plot to Kill Jesus"
Episode Synopsis
This sermon delivered by Pastor Chris Myers of Dwell City Church focuses on a specific passage in the Gospel of John, explaining the motivations of the Pharisees and Chief Priests (the Sanhedrin) in plotting to kill Jesus, especially after the resurrection of Lazarus. The sermon argues that the plot was primarily motivated by a desire to maintain their power and avoid Roman intervention, was revealed by prophecy through the unwitting statement of the high priest Caiaphas, but was ultimately controlled by Jesus according to God's divine timing and plan to fulfill the Passover sacrifice. The message also warns listeners against the dangers of legalism and moralism, emphasizing the importance of a relationship with Jesus over rigid adherence to rules.
