Luke 22:47-53 | JD Summers

The salvific nature of Christ’s mission had been foretold since before he was even born and was reinforced again and again throughout his life and ministry. Even so, as the hour for his sacrifice drew near, many failed to embrace his plan. Some seemed to follow but turned on him in the final hour. Some desired to stand with him, but foolishly pursued their own plans instead. And some outright opposed him, seeking to derail his sovereign design. But God’s plans do not fail. As Christ went to the cross, God was using Satan’s evil intent to accomplish his own plan of salvation instead. Behold our faithful, gracious, and sovereign God!
