They Decided To Kill Lazarus As Well

March 30, 2021

From today’s reading…

Then the chief priests decided to kill Lazarus as well, since it was on his account that many of the Jews were leaving them and believing in Jesus.” John 10-11

Guilt by association has been a thing for at least two millennia.

Peter learned that the hard way yesterday where we read about how he denied Jesus three times in one short night.

Do you know why he was not so bold as just a few hours before?

He was alone and felt trapped, cornered, afraid.

The bad guys are always looking for ways to get you alone because they understand war.

They know the benefit of bringing a gun to a knife fight.

They know all’s fair in love and war.

They appreciate how advantageous it is to move with speed, violence, and overwhelming force.

They don’t want a fair fight.

The battle is here and now.

War was declared long before you were born.

If you want to win, choose your side carefully because having the right teammates is the only way to…

Stay the course.Keep the faith.Endure.

Now go sell something.
