Cross Thoughts

for devotion around the table

God Had It All Planned Out

9/3/2017

 
Read John 1:1-18.
  • Mark's gospel begins with John the Baptist and then reveals the adult Jesus. 
  • Matthew's gospel shows us Jesus' history back to David. 
  • Luke's gospel shows us Jesus' story back to Adam. 
  • But John's gospel shows us Jesus “In the beginning...”

  • God's plan for redeeming man was founded before the world was founded (Eph. 1:4).
  • Jesus was part of God's plan when He worked in Abraham's life (Gen. 12:1-3). 
  • The work of Christ was part of God's plan through David's throne (Acts 2:33-36).

The death of Christ was no accident, so when God purchased the church “with His own blood” (Acts 20:28), He had counted the cost. He looked at you and me and proclaimed the price was worth it.
    The Lord calls us around His table. As we gather, He commands us, “Do this in remembrance of Me” (1 Cor. 11:25). As I consider the great invitation to share in the blood and body of the Lord, I also share these thoughts with you. Perhaps, they will help you reflect.
