When Angels Ministered To Christ

When 2nd Stringers Are 1st String.

The first shall be last and the last shall be first. It’s even happened with me. I’ve shown up in church and there’s a substitute preaching for the pastor and there’s a let down (the air goes out of my balloon). It’s like when you go to a baseball game and you sit down in the stands and look uo at the lineup on the scoreboard for the game – and you find out the best (your
favorite) player has the day off. (Bummer.) And let me go even further – It’s like when you go to a party and your clique isn’t there
– the people you enjoy being around – and it’s just not the same. “Why did I even come?” But even Jesus (the First String of all first
stringers) was ministered to by the angels (the second string). In God’s economy the second string is the first string. And just when you don’t think it is, He’ll use it to try to get through to you. Mark my words. Don’t close your heart just because you think it’s the second string whose playing the game. That’s when Jesus many times shows up in power. (Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?)
