This Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to the cross by the handsome godless men and put Him to death. But God raised Him up again.
Acts 2: 23-24
HAS ANYBODY EVER BEEN terribly unfair to you? Have you ever been almost destroyed by the ruthlessness of another? You're not alone.
The greatest offense ever committed against a man was what done to Jesus by those who opposed Him. They tortured and killed the perfect Son of God. The amazing thing about the mistreatment of Jesus (and you) is the Father's ability to redeemed it.
God is bigger than the wrong men do. Human being were completely responsible for crucifying the Son of God. "You nailed [Him] to the cross," Peter said. But God was sovereign over even this and in fact, had planned it before the foundation of the world: Christ was "delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God." Do you see how the two fit together? WE do have and awesome God!
Mentally release those who have treated you with unfairness or even cruelty. Don't live in the past. Your God stands above all that has happened in your life. He can redeem and use those things for your good and His glory.
