“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.
