Ramsey Creek Baptist Church

The entire arrest and trial in the life of Jesus was ordained, orchestrated, and completed by a sovereign God who really truly loved His Son. God’s plan to bring us into a love relationship with Him took Jesus to the cross. While we may not understand all that God is doing in our circumstances, there is a purpose & there is a design. Our lives are also ordained, orchestrated, and completed by a sovereign God who really truly loves us. Caiaphas' solution to the Jewish leader's problem was just to kill Jesus. "It’s better that one person die so the whole nation won’t" (v. 50). "We'll kill him so that the Romans won’t kill us", Caiaphas thought. This reminds us that the heart of the Gospel is substitution. God substituted His Son for you. Romans 8:1-4 tells us that God condemned our sin in His Son. Because of this wonderful doctrine sinners who put their trust in Jesus never need to fear being condemned by God. We are now welcomed into His family by grace
