# 682 Today's Du-votional comes from: Mr 14:1 After two days it was the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take Him by trickery and put Him to death. 2 But they said, "Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar of the people."
Beginning in this chapter, Mark begins to record for us the actual history of the Passion. It's Tuesday, just two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The chief priests and scribes have stopped bothering Jesus with their trick questions, because He just made them look like fools and they got down to the nitty gritty planning of how they could arrest Him and put Him to death.
So while Jesus was giving more last minute teaching to His disciples, the leaders were secretly meeting and plotting their dastardly deed. Notice their fear of the people. They had to do this in a way that would not create a “Rome” awakening riot.
Their initial plan here was to wait until after the feast, fewer people in town. But you know what, that would not do in God's plan. The timing for this event would be God's not theirs, and the Real Lamb of God would die during Passover as God intended.
Wait till we read on, and see how God altered their plans! God is in charge! Something we all need to remember when our own plans fall through.
Pr 19:21 There are many plans in a man's heart, Nevertheless the LORD'S counsel-that will stand.
Just imagine the freedom, one can live in when they fully embrace this truth!
Father, let me never forget Your Sovereignty, knowing that “all things work together for Your ultimate good!
