THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW Part 89: The Big Lie

The Jewish leadership killed the Messiah promised to Adam, but then the Roman soldiers guarding the tomb recounted how a being of light had rolled the stone away and Jesus walked out looking unhurt.

Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin contemplated their options and concluded that bribing the soldiers and having them propagate a lie of falling asleep was the only viable option. It was easy to claim that the disciples had stolen the body of Jesus. The ungodly Jewish leadership rejected the Messiah and sealed their fate.

Yet even more insidious, they ensured future generations of Jews would reject the Messiah as well. Thousands of Jews accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior during the first century, but the majority believed the big lie orchestrated by Caiaphas. Nevertheless, God continues to patiently call them, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
