Luke 23:1-25 | Joy & Rest

DATE: July 13, 2022
THEME: Joy & Rest
SCRIPTURE: Luke 23:1-25

In the midst of Jesus' trials before Pilate and Herod, we see Jesus calm, peace-filled, and joy-filled, and at rest..."like, a sheep before its shearers is silent. It wasn't a fearful or rebellious silence, it was a restful and joyful disposition. When Jesus was handed over to the Chief Priests' will (desire, want, wish, what they asked for) He knew things would be as they should. Things had to go exactly this way in order for Jesus to fulfill all prophesy and promise; to accomplish salvation for all who would call upon His name, to be come children of God. Jesus was joyful to do so.
