The Plan Versus The Cost

In Mark chapter 15 it is written by THE SPIRIT:

25 Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him. 26 And the inscription of His accusation was written above:
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27 With Him they also crucified two robbers, one on His right and the other on His left. 
28 So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And He was numbered with the transgressors.”
29 And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads and saying, “Aha! You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, 
30 save Yourself, and come down from the cross!”
31 Likewise the chief priests also, mocking among themselves with the scribes, said, “He saved others; Himself He cannot save. 
32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe.”
Even those who were crucified with Him reviled Him.

The Chief Priests and Scribes failed to see the importance of Jesus submitting to the cross and if anyone who knew The Bible, it was these two groups.  Instead, their blindness prevailed and they missed one of the most important events in history.  They mocked and ridiculed Jesus’ mission and calling rather than see into THE SPIRIT and grasp the brevity of what was happening.  How would you like to stand before Our Heavenly Father and explain your actions in this situation?  Fortunately Love will provide that salve to cleanse the wounds found among all as we look back at our gross misunderstanding.

FATHER’S Plan for each of us has a unique cost associated with it and we must not let that cost be our focus.  Some of us are meant to spend more time on earth in our physical bodies than others.  Some are required to give up physical possessions while others are required to accumulate more that most would expect.  We must not judge those resources in light of our calling versus theirs.  We should simply acknowledge FATHER will provide whatever we need when we need it.

FATHER does not divulge the fullness of HIS Plan to each of us because we would then start comparing the various costs of ours versus the similar plans of others.  The result- lack of unity and a negative impact on pure faith. The result is that we take our focus away from our calling.  Let us simply focus on the plan knowing that FATHER will oversee the cost and bring forth any and all resources needed to accomplish HIS Plan.
