Scripture to Read: Luke 22:7–13
The Passover with the disciples was getting ready to take place. Jesus, being omniscient, knew where it would happen, so He set things in motion. God had Luke record this in Luke 22:7–13, “Then came the first day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it.” 9 They said to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare it?” 10 And He said to them, “When you have entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house that he enters. 11 And you shall say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’ 12 And he will show you a large, furnished upper room; prepare it there.” 13 And they left and found everything just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.” Jesus gave Peter and John very specific instructions about where to go, who to talk to, and what to do. God knows the plans He has set for us each day. God tells us in Ephesians 2:10, “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.” Like Peter and John, we must ask our Lord daily to guide us so we do not miss the good works He’s already planned for us to walk in.
Challenge & Application
What do we learn about our Lord from the way He guided Peter and John?
Why should we be asking our Lord daily to guide us into the works He’s already laid out for us to fulfill?
