“The next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate and said, “Sir, we remember how that impostor said, while he was still alive, ‘After three days I will rise.’ Therefore order the tomb to be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples go and steal him away and tell the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ and the last fraud will be worse than the first.” Pilate said to them, “You have a guard of soldiers. Go, make it as secure as you can.” So they went and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone and setting a guard.”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭27:62-66‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This sticks out because the chief priests and the Pharisees felt secure with this plan. They thought they can control this outcome and wouldn’t worry about Jesus anymore. Just because they didn’t think Jesus was the Son of God, didn’t make it so. We know who Jesus is and we know He controls every situation and can turn it into glory for Him. Please pray that we and our friends believe in the promises of God and trust them daily. Please pray for Jeremy and Gary’s group.
