The Lamb of God was “slain from the foundation of the world” in that it had always been God’s eternal purpose to send his Son into the world. But God also unfolded history in such a way as to prepare the perfect time for his coming. He is the ruler of history, which is “His story, ” and he made the cross of Christ the very center of that story.
O Lord of history, ruler of all ages, you who arranged the events of time have also arranged the events of our lives in particular. You know the right time for everything. Your purposes are not always clear to us, but we know that you make no mistake. Teach us to trust your providential rule in our lives! Amen.
