The right time

1 Timothy 6:12-16

This morning there was no sermon in church, the gospel filled in the time. Since the adoption of the Revised Common Lectionary the gospel reading for Palm Sunday has been the retelling of the whole Passion, not just the triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
At Jesus' trial, and while he was on the cross the sceptics asked for him to defy death and come down from the cross in one flamboyant miracle. He did not. Instead he waited fo rhte right time and three days later walked from death to life. The miracle which had been demanded happened and was ignored. God's time is different from ours.
