He will not shout or raise his voice in public. He will not crush the weakest reed or put out a flickering candle. He will bring justice to all who have been wronged. He will not falter or lose heart until justice prevails throughout the earth. Even distant lands beyond the sea will wait for his instruction. “Look at my servant, whom I strengthen. He is my chosen one, who pleases me. I have put my Spirit upon him. He will bring justice to the nations. Isaiah 42:1-4
He’s Not Here
He’s not here… but before they said that, at the beginning of the week of Easter, they had no idea what God was going to do that Friday, what Jesus, their beloved Savior would have to grow through. God’s Timing Was Everything. He’s not here. As we start Easter week, or any week of the year, we don’t know what lies ahead for us, but we do know God is with us and He is for us in that incredible way of His.
Jesus Finished Well
God’s timing is perfect as we wait on Him at the beginning of our week. I have never really liked Monday, I don’t know why? Anyone else feel that way about Monday? I guess it is a bummer because we come off of a long weekend and it is the start of a long week ahead. Can you imagine what Jesus felt like that Monday before He was to die on Friday? Can you even begin to imagine?? Yet, He stayed on mission, because timing is everything, and it mattered. Jesus was determined to finish well. That shows me one thing, every day is a gift and no matter what lies ahead for us, if we stay on Mission with Jesus, we can finish well. How did Jesus begin his week? This scripture should give you a huge hint:
“Adopt the same attitude as that of Christ Jesus, who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God as something to be exploited. Instead he emptied himself by assuming the form of a servant, taking on the likeness of humanity. And when he had come as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death—even to death on a cross.” Philippians 2
Unconditional Love On Display
Father God, make us to be so, like Jesus, may we be saved to serve and stand on the side of truth like He was and is, and in all humility, love others like He did and is, loving them like He had never been hurt by them. Jesus continues to give His all to us all, speaking truth and life, and finishing well despite our, rejection, false accusations, and hate. Because of Jesus, and His humility and His position underneath the Rulership of God, and His truth, Jesus beat his enemies and won the greatest victory over evil known to mankind.
Timing Was Everything
Timing is everything. He Is Not Here! That is what they said the morning they went to the tomb to prepare Jesus’ body for burial. Death was the evil intention, eternal life was the outcome. The illegitimate authority over Jesus appeared to have the upper hand because He was allowing it for a greater purpose, which had an endgame of eternal life. Timing was everything. So, start every Monday with good intentions, wholly-holy aligned with Jesus, and be like Him and finish every week well.
Endgame: Absolutely The Best
Wait on God, yielding, believing, trusting, and activating faith, because God’s timing is everything, we patiently endure. We yield to God and His methods because we know to trust God, we must believe that His timing is perfect, His timing is everything. God loves us too much to answer our prayer when we want it with what we want. God waits until the timing is right for what is absolutely the best outcome for us. He speaks Shalom into our injustice and disrupts the chaos of everything that doesn’t feel right with His peace and truth, that stands the tests of these evil times.
John 11: Jesus told her, “Your brother will rise again.” “Yes,” Martha said, “he will rise when everyone else rises, at the last day.” Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?” Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?” So they rolled the stone aside. Then Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, thank you for hearing me. You always hear me, but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people standing here, so that they will believe you sent me.” Then Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!” And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound in graveclothes, his face wrapped in a headcloth. Jesus told them, “Unwrap him and let him go!” So from that time on, the Jewish leaders began to plot Jesus’ death.
