Imagine

Well, as of this evening, we are in the final week of Lent. Holy Week. The week when the kettle of salvation bubbled up and boiled over. The week when the Most Innocent of innocents died for the sinful. This week we will observe God Made Man's blood being shed for our sake.
But I'm getting ahead of the story, am I not?
The Gospel reading for Saturday was the "Session of the Sanhedrin," John 11:45-54. That is when the chief priests and the Pharisees, apprised of Jesus' resurrection of Lazarus, gather to discuss the problem Jesus' ministry presented them. He was performing miracles and many were coming to believe in Him. Jesus threatened their very existence. "So from that day on they planned to kill Him" John 11:53. Imagine.
Peace.
