Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age…
-
Luke 3:23,
ESV
Two quick observations:
Jesus was about 30
when he began his ministry.
What a peculiar society we live in. Seemingly, if you are
not a superstar by the time you are 30 you have let life pass you by. What was
Jesus doing for 30 years? Simple, preparing. He was preparing for the ministry
that lie ahead. He was preparing himself spiritually and intellectually. While
Jesus was fully God, He was also fully human and was subject to the same needs
we are.
Do not rush to action. Do not be discouraged if God has set
you aside for a season of preparation. Give your attention to the things God is
doing now. Do not spend so much time looking to the future that you miss this
season of your life.
He began his ministry.
While there was a season of preparation, the time to begin
actually came. The same will be true for you. The time to begin will come. We
need to be careful not to rush to the start, but allow God to open the doors.
However, once God opens the doors, we need not delay moving forward. If God
says it is time, then it is time.
