For the Cross was the essence of his How gladly would St. Paul have offered the Corinthians a Gospel which they would find it easy to if he had had one As he passed along he keenly felt it was an unpromising message he was sent to He had to determine that he would declare it. But he could do no The Cross was the To leave it out was to have no news to Jesus was put to It is some days now since Caiaphas stood up in the presence of the Sanhedrin and prophesied that it was expedient that one man should die for the He determined then that he would see his own prophecy And he saw it. Jesus has been put to But it was always the way with Caiaphas to mean much more than he To see Jesus put to death was all he said he would attend He resolved that he would see Jesus put to death on the For thus only could Jesus come under the curse of the No doubt His death would end His own claim to be the Messiah and Son of But it was needful to make it impossible for His to continue that claim after He was Crucify Him under the curse of the for the law says Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a and it is impossible that His disciples should dare to mention his name So Jesus was Now His disciples may go Caiaphas never had any grudge against When his band of with their spears and came to take at the gate of the seek asked the They Jesus of If therefore ye seek let these go their the soldiers have no command to take the disciples And so when Jesus has been taken and let these go their way to their homes and their Caiaphas pities but he does not desire to harm It is not they that claim to be the Messianic Son of Let them go But they do not go At the very first certainly they were of the same mind as and ready to go home and take up their work Simon Peter saith unto I go a They say unto We also go with They went forth For they are of the same mind as think it is all over with and with We trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed But now he has been Pie has come under the curse of the But what report is this Mary Magdalene has come breathless from the I have seen the and He has said such and such things unto me Two of them are walking to Emmaus they hurry back with their incredible tidings that the Lord had appeared to them in the breaking of But they have not time to utter when they are met with the exclamation from the astonished Lord is risen and hath appeared unto They do not go They are never to go home Their calling of fisherman is Henceforth they are to catch They appear in the temple preaching boldly that who was has risen from the and that he is the Messiah The word comes to the chief and Caiaphas hears it. What did Caiaphas think We may easily imagine thoughts of wonder and Had he overreached himself after as superlatively clever men so often do Caiaphas was clever enough to know that cleverness often overreaches But he said And the priests and Pharisees are sore if they need a strong a man of decision and But Caiaphas says and they are sorely Let us threaten We have found them easily frightened Did they not all forsake Him and flee when He was taken at the Garden Let us threaten and so put an end to this For it was blasphemy that the disciples of Jesus were preaching in the To say that one who had come under the curse of God's law was the Messiah and the Son of God was sheer pernicious and But the disciples persist in preaching it. And strange to the threatening has no The Sanhedrin wonders whereunto this thing will A resolute an energetic is needed to put an end to it And the Sanhedrin found the hand and the will they needed in a young man named Whether Saul of Tarsus was in Jerusalem when Jesus was we do not He was in Jerusalem no And it was an intolerable thing to him that anyone should be found 13 say that He who had come under the curse of the law had risen from the dead and was the Son of For Saul had the most profound
