So people always fear the message – the risk of
acknowledging the truth is too great, the loss of the comfortable and familiar
too high a price to pay. No doubt a sentiment many of us are guilty of
from time to time. Far easier to follow the leader (here Caiaphas) who
gives you the easy way out.
But in another sense Caiaphas was right – Jesus did
die, not only for the Jewish nation but for all of us. Without their
profound sin we could not benefit from Jesus' ultimate sacrifice.
