The Plan



“Don’t you love it when a plan comes together?”  We’ve all heard this saying a number of
times.  What usually follows is a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

These verses describe how God’s plan unfolded: Judas made a deal with the chief priests
to hand Jesus over to them; Jesus guided Peter and John to prepare for the Passover meal
by describing exactly who they’d meet, and what they’d find when they entered the city; and preparations were made for precisely the meal we call the Last Supper.

These events didn’t happen by chance.  God had a plan for the actions that led to our
Savior’s crucifixion and resurrection.  The plan was carried out, and led to the glorious
conclusion we’ll celebrate on Easter.

Prayer:  God, we’re thankful that you care so much for us that you planned these events
to occur just as they did so that our lives on earth are rich and that we can experience
your grace.  We praise you for your wisdom, your caring, and the beautiful future you
have prepared for us.  Amen.
