Does He threaten what you\u2019ve built and what you\u2019ve made for yourself? Would He disrupt the name you\u2019ve made for yourself, the success you\u2019ve worked hard for, or the relationships and recognition you\u2019ve been able to get?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes! Jesus should disrupt all those things\u2014because what He offers is better. He has love for you worth more than the approval you can get from your friends. His power and success is greater than anyone else\u2019s because He has conquered death and the grave. And what He wants to give you is eternal, safe, and protected from everything you may encounter in this temporary life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/tyndalebibles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/03\/Profile.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6318\" width=\"321\" height=\"222\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When all was said and done, when Jesus rose again with all power in His possession, Caiaphas still refused to believe in Him, and he even went as far to silence and persecute those who did. Caiaphas represents the people who refuse to believe because they think accepting Jesus as Lord will cost them too much. They choose the fleeting power, celebrity, or pleasures of this life instead of the eternal life God offers those who receive His Son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s your choice? Is Jesus worth it? Is He that valuable? Is it worth giving up everything to possess what He has? Or is He so much of a threat that He must be removed from your life at all costs? As it was for Caiaphas and the Sadducees he led, the choice is yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:38% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/tyndalebibles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/03\/Retro-Gradient-Sale-Instagram-Post-.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6319 size-full\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/398MPHu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about the Streetlights New Testament<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.streetlightsbible.com\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Meet the Streetlights Team<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;So the soldiers, their commanding officer, and the Temple guards arrested Jesus and tied him up.\u00a0First they took him to Annas, since he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest at that time.
