come to life

Saturday April 16^th, John 11: The Plot to Kill Jesus  45 Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, put their faith in him.  I included the title, “the plot to kill Jesus” as a way to mark what happens when we do ministry well.  When we successfully find ways to unbind others from the wrappings that are keeping them down, there will be a reaction.  The reaction here was that things were getting out of hand and the power structure was getting a bit shaky and sensing a loss of control.  Worst of all, someone was about to lose some power and money connections, and the only solution the structure could come up with was that someone had to die.  Imagine what would happen if the church was able to confront and do something about injustice in this world?  We Would pay the price, but perhaps in the process we would also come to life.
