There’s an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on the earth...
LUKE 18:31 (ABP)
Jesus pulled aside his twelve apprentices and said, "Pay attention! This is one of those moments. We're on our way to Jerusalem where everything that the prophets wrote about the Uber Man is going to happen."
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Jesus saw that the time was right to complete his mission of saving the world.
DAILY FODDER
How is it that something so well-timed as Jesus' mission could become the utterly horrible events we commemorate during Holy Week?
PRAYER
God, your timing is always perfect. I admit that I can't always see it or understand why things happen when they do. Help me to trust your timing even as I trust in the timing of Jesus' rescue moment for the world. This week as I prepare for Holy Week I'm going to spend time thinking about your perfect timing. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
