Neither Unprepared Nor Surprised!
(NSAB) Luke 23:32-33 “Two others also, who were criminals, were being led away to be put to death with Him.
33 When they came to the place called The Skull, where they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.”
(In John 19:17 ““ in Aramaic, the Skull is called Golgotha)
Picture the scene as three men are on their way to their execution, each carrying/dragging a part of the cross on which they would die.
Two were criminals and the third was the Son of God.
Seeming “˜happenstances”™ were actually more fulfillment of God”™s prophetic word:
(NASB) Isaiah 53:12b “Because He poured out Himself to death,
And was numbered with the transgressors;
Yet He Himself bore the sin of many,
And interceded for the transgressors.”
Jesus and God the Father were neither unprepared nor surprised in these circumstances. God”™s word was being fulfilled”¦God”™s will was being fulfilled for you! Jesus bore your sins and He is interceding for you today”¦are you responding to Him? Remember, the only way to the Father is through Jesus.
Whatever your circumstances today”¦God is still God and He is neither unprepared nor surprised.
Whatever your circumstances today, keep Jesus in your thoughts by focusing on Him:
(NIV) Hebrews 12:2 “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Fix your eyes upon Jesus; He is neither unprepared nor surprised!
