“They asked him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”” – Mark 9:11
When I read this verse, I imagine the curiosity of the disciples as they grapple with the mysteries of faith and prophecy.
**Mark 9:11** They asked him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” This question reflects the deep-seated expectations and beliefs the Jewish people had regarding the coming of the Messiah. Jesus’ response reveals the unfolding of God’s plan, illustrating that sometimes our understanding of divine timing and preparation may differ from what God has in store. As Christians, we can learn to embrace the mysteries of our faith, trusting that God’s timing is perfect and His plans exceed our expectations.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, help us to trust in Your divine plan and timing as we navigate our faith journeys. May we remain open to the mysteries You reveal along the way. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
