“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Monday; March 24, 2008

 

          How quickly it all changed – going from Hosannas and palms one week and the crucifixion the next.  On that glorious Spring Sunday, the people of Jerusalem welcomed Jesus into the city with praise; but, by the next Friday, they were nailing Him to a tree.  Yet, in the greatest act of salvation, three days later God raised Jesus from the grave to the throne!

          As the world says good-bye to what some people call another “Holy Week” it serves a reminder that there really is only one constant in our world – God is in control.  People can be honorable one day and horrific the next; but, the key is that God controls our world.  All things will work on His time table and produce His results.  God will win;  yet, that is only part of the story.  You see, when God wins, so do His people.  On that Sunday in the garden, the true gift wasn’t just giving Jesus His earthly life back, it was in providing believers with the salvation we so desperately needed. 

          As we begin a new week, let’s remember God’s power in our world – and His plan for our lives.
