  <itunes:subtitle>In Episode 263 of the 2 Minute Disciple, we explore John 11:45-54 and the moment when Jesus's death becomes inevitable. This episode reveals that while the religious leaders plot Jesus's death for political reasons, God is working through their opposition to accomplish redemption. Through Caiaphas's unwitting prophecy, we discover that Jesus will die not just for one nation, but to unite all the children of God scattered around the world. The irony is devastating: the leaders think they're protecting themselves by eliminating Jesus, but they're actually fulfilling God's plan for salvation. Through guided meditation and a practical daily habit of contemplative presence, learn what it means that Jesus chose to die willingly, knowing what lay ahead. Join us as we explore how the cross changes everything and how to live in the power of Jesus's resurrection.</itunes:subtitle>
