God’s imperturbable plans

Then beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, Jesus interpreted for them the things concerning himself in all the Scriptures. （Luke 24:27）

When Jesus began with Moses’s writings, I wonder if he pointed to Moses and how Moses’s life itself pointed to Jesus’.

Like Jesus, Moses was born to be a savior.

Like Jesus, his life was endangered from the start because of a king’s command (Matthew 2:8, 16).

And as in Jesus’ case, people disobeyed the king’s order and obeyed God so that God’s plans of salvation might prevail. (Matthew 2:12-15)

I recently read a quote that went something like this: “God’s plan of redemption is imperturbable.”

Satan certainly fought against it from the beginning.

He fought it from the time God expelled Adam and Eve from the garden. And at the cross, Satan thought he had finally won.

But God’s redemption plan is imperturbable.

Though Jesus died on the cross, God raised him from the dead.

And through Jesus’ death and resurrection, we now have forgiveness and eternal life.

Even now God’s redemption plan is imperturbable.

No matter how badly we sin, no matter how badly we fall, no one is beyond God’s ability to save.

That’s the hope of Easter.

Let us stand each day on that hope.
