So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well, ¹¹ for on account of him many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and believing in him.

John 12:10-11

For Meditation
Foolishness! All is foolishness. For, who can remove the evidence God has given of Himself in Christ Jesus?

Better believe it, my friend, and be saved. He waits patiently for you. All your arguments will not hold. Your traditional beliefs will not carry at His judgment seat. Your philosophical proposition and humanistic convictions would fall flat on their own false premises on that day. Your social, political, and economic realignment will prove deceptive when the real proponent and provider of those rights sit to declare His judgment in those cases. You can even hide behind the hatred and objection to the current fake gospel enterprise and reject Christ, but that will do you no good. Everyone will die for their sins and their response to Christ.

You may gain popularity for the excellence of your argument and eloquence of your presentation; for when people are suffering, they fall for anything that sounds good and convincing. You may rule the airwaves, but please, know who the prince of the air is and be wise (Eph. 2:2). It takes nothing away from the Almighty, who is the Sovereign Ruler over all things. “He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance” (2 Pt. 3:9).

So, be wise, my friend. Take the narrow way to the narrow gate that opens to eternal life in Christ Jesus (Matt. 7:13-14). Get off the broad highway of this crooked life and onto “the way and the truth and the life,” and be saved (Jn.14:6).

It is everybody’s choice, my friend!

Shalom
