Caiaphas schemed against Jesus (John 11:49–53). It was horrible. It was injustice.

John Piper recently led a short devotional on this theme with the friends and staff of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association in Charlotte, NC.

P. S. One notable part of the audio is the warm introduction by 89-year old saint Cliff Barrows. Barrows was a friend of Pastor John's father, the late Bill Piper, and comments that he actually burped Pastor John as a baby back in the 1940s. . . . (yes, that is amazing).
