The religious leaders of Jesus’ day wanted to stop His influence from spreading, but they could not. Even though they seek to stop Him now (and will seek to kill Him even in the future), they will not succeed, because the purpose of God is unstoppable, whether it relates to Jesus’ life or His death. And His unstoppable influence continued from Pentecost down through the ages to today when Jesus is continuing to build His church. May the unstoppable proclamation of Jesus Christ advance through His church for the glory of God.

John 7:32-36
The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about Him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to seize Him. Therefore Jesus said, “For a little while longer I am with you, then I go to Him who sent Me. You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.” The Jews then said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we will not find Him? He is not intending to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks, is He? What is this statement that He said, ‘You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come’?”
