Such a short but serious passage today in thelifebook. The Bible tells us that Jesus was handed over but this was not outside of the plan and purpose of God.
"“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know—this Jesus, It delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men." Acts 2:22,23 It is sometimes debated who killed Jesus. Some would say it was the religious leaders fault and others would say it was the Romans that nailed Jesus to the cross and still others would say it was our sin that put Him and held there. All are true but it was Jesus who said to Pilate, “You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin." John 19:11 It is a terrifying thing to think of these men standing before God without excuse. But let us remember but for the grace of God our roles would be reversed. I wonder if Lazarus knew they were seeking to kill him as well. One thing we know for sure is that NOTHING happens to God's people without it going through the hands of the Father first. Thank you God that in the this sin cursed world you still reign. Have a great day loved ones and God bless you real good!
