The Conspiracy Formed Against the Life of Our Lord John 11:46-57
By R.A. Torrey0JHN 11:46R.A. Torrey explores the conspiracy against Jesus as depicted in John 11:46-57, emphasizing the origin and motivations of the Jewish leaders who plotted His death. He highlights that their fear of losing power and influence led them to conspire against the very one who could save them, illustrating the futility of their actions as they ultimately brought about their own ruin. Torrey also discusses Caiaphas's role in the conspiracy, noting that even through his unscrupulous intentions, God used his words to prophesy the significance of Jesus's death for all humanity. The sermon underscores the contrast between the leaders' hatred and the common people's belief in Jesus, revealing the broader implications of His sacrifice for both Jews and Gentiles. Ultimately, Torrey calls attention to the unity that Christ's death brings to the scattered children of God.
