Today's thought was brought to mind by last night's discussion in the Men's Ministry study of the book "Messiah" and it serves to start a sequence of Easter-related thoughts. It's based on a quote from Max Lucado's "And The Angels Were Silent"...
Forget any suggestion that Jesus was trapped. Erase any theory that God made a miscalculation. Ignore any speculation that the cross was a last-minute last-ditch attempt to salvage a failed mission. For if these words tell us anything they tell us that Christ died on purpose. No surprise. No hesitation. No faltering. On purpose.
[Jesus said] "We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will turn him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified." Matthew 20:18,19
You've been prayed for today.
