I'm thinking today of Matthew 27 2 and it says and
They bound him and that him is Jesus and they led him away and delivered him to pilot the governor
In this moment when Jesus was arrested the Pharisees and the Sadducees were finally united
Jesus has this way of uniting people when they stand against him
Doesn't matter what their differences are
They realize that Jesus is more a threat to their way of life than anyone else and they will stand
United against Jesus or against Christians because they don't want to let Jesus do what Jesus wants to do in their wickedness
They found a mutual enemy. They bound their enemy. They tortured him
They found him guilty despite the illegal nature of their proceedings and they sent him to pilot so that he could be crucified
It was wrong
Facilitated by the wickedness of men but it was Jesus who willingly laid down his life for us
Now we live for him who died for us your enemies may unite against you
But in doing so they sear they seal their ultimate defeat
Your enemies may unite against you but in doing so they seal their ultimate defeat
Doesn't matter what enemy you're facing today in Christ. You will be victorious
Stand firm be encouraged
Slowly if necessary edge forward to serve God and let nothing stand in your way
God bless you today in Jesus name
