Pastor's Corner

for Sunday Jan 23rd
When Jesus was warned by the Pharisees not to go to Jerusalem because King Herod wanted to kill him, Jesus answered, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I finish my course.”(Luke 13:32) What striking about this statement is that Jesus is telling these Pharisees that his future is not in Herod’s hands but in God’s. Jesus came to this earth to die but he will die according to God’s timing not Herod’s. So Jesus says he will continue to do what he has always done and when he is finished what he came to do then, and only then, will he give himself to be killed. As a Christian you can have the same confidence in your future. Nothing happens to you unless God says so, my future is not in the hands of any man or woman, not even the devil’s. My future is in the God’s hands, and there’s no safer place to be.
