Ciaphas couldn't stand Jesus. And we know why. Jesus was messy. Jesus ruined his perfect programs. Jesus loved the unlovables. Jesus touched the untouchables. Jesus had mercy and grace for everyone, and that really ticked off Ciaphas. Jesus loved the Romans, the Greeks, the Jews and all people of all races.Jesus came to set us free from the law. Ciaphas was as bound to the law as Jesus was free from the law. He came to show us a better way. He came to show us how to love one another with a kind of love that is not contaminated by the sin in this world. I challenge you to take this week and show the world this Jesus. This Jesus that loves you with a pure and holy love. Some one out there in your world needs this love desperately and you may be their only voice crying to them in their wilderness. The world needs you to start acting like this Jesus. Be kind. Love one another. Say good things. Break the habit of being negative and gossipy about others. Break free from the law of sin and start living in the freedom of Christ's love. You can help Him change the world. You can be free. Help set others free. Amen.
