Plans formed of old, faithful and sure

Morning: Psalm 145; Isaiah 25:1-9; Acts 4:13-21

Evening: Psalm 104; John 16:16-33

‘Teddy the Mop’ was the affectionate name one of my professors gave to Theodore of Mopsuestia, a Syrian bishop of the early 400s.  My professor loved Teddy for saying: “The end will be like the beginning, only better!”  In Isaiah, the ‘end’ is a feast.  In Jesus, the ‘end’ is when he overcomes the world’s troubles. Peter and John, even under arrest, could not stop telling what they had seen and heard in Jesus. There is more to this world and to God’s faithful and sure plans for it than we can imagine.  Even in Syria, all will be well.
