Easter from the viewpoint of Caiaphas, demonstrating that it would be better for obstinant rebels if Christ had not been raised from the dead. The fact of Easter requires us to repent and turn to Christ

They only put me in power as High Priest to keep the country in order and to stop things like this happening. If that Jesus had kept to carpentry none of this would have ...read more
