Today is Good Friday. Christians remember (not celebrate) this day when Jesus was put to death by the Romans. Everybody knows about that. Most know that He was called King of the Jews. Jesus is certainly a King, but not of the Jews. Jesus' kingdom is not of this world. That's why the bindings of this world could not contain Him. Its not a trick, or magic, or anything like what those pesky Pharisees were always trying to pull off.
We think our world today is full of conspiracy, lies, manipulation. In Jesus' day, and particularly this week, He was subjected to that in a far worse way than we will ever experience. Barabbas was let go, though he was guilty. Jesus was kept, beaten, and eventually crucified. A far more painful death than we use now for the death penalty. He was not guilty. But there was a bigger plan. He knew it, and let it happen anyway.
There is a Bigger Plan. It doesn't work how we want it to. Trust me. I've tried; complained about it, thought I could make a good plan. God's Plan, including the events of today 2000+ years ago will work. It takes a different attitude.You know if its there. You can sense it. If you can't; keep looking. It'll find you if you let it.
