Matt. 26

In the news today, we often hear of political resistance to Christians and the Lord Jesus. It’s NOTHING NEW. The religious leaders of Christ’s day did it too. They schemed to have Him crucified. Guess what?! Your scheme BACKFIRED!!! You just fulfilled the Heavenly Father’s plan for His Firstborn Son to sacrificially die and atone for the sin of everyone who would believe in Him and receive the cleansing of His blood.

God, in His infinite wisdom and unlimited power, can turn the schemes of men into great victories for His Kingdom. So, the believer should not entertain fear or apprehension about the days we live in. We live by faith … faith in the Son of God Who loved us and gave Himself for us.

Meanwhile, the ungodly continue scheming.
