One Man for the Nation: Caiaphas’ Unwitting Prophecy - Jeff Peterson

“It is better for you that one man should die for the people…” Caiaphas tossed out those words to save his own seat, yet he unwittingly preached the Gospel of substitutionary atonement—one Man dying for the nation and gathering the scattered children of God. This message tracks the story from Lazarus’ tomb to the Sanhedrin chamber and presses the unavoidable question: What do you do with Jesus? We’ll see how God uses wicked men—like Caiaphas, like Cyrus—to accomplish righteous purposes, turning a plot meant for evil into salvation “on steroids.” If He can steer a murderous council, He can guide the craziness of our age and even the “mundane” moments of our lives—changing diapers, answering phones, mowing lawns—for eternal glory. God’s driving the bus, and there are no co-pilots. Trust Him, love Him, live in humble obedience, and watch ordinary providences become instruments of redemption.
