And He sent out two of His disciples
and said to them, “Go into the city. .
.” Mark 14:13
The two
disciples were given very detailed instructions to go to a certain town and
look for a particular man performing a specific task. He would have a large
room, furnished and ready to observe the Passover. These instructions might
have seemed unusual had it not been their Lord speaking, but the two disciples
obeyed and found everything just as Jesus had said. Jesus knew exactly what
they would find, and so He guided them specifically. One of the most memorable
and precious times the disciples would spend with their Teacher hinged on the
obedience of these two.
Obedience
to Christ’s commands always brings fulfillment. When the Lord gives you
instructions, obey immediately. Don’t wait until you have figured it all out
and everything makes perfect sense to you. Sometimes God will lead you to do
things that you will not fully understand until after you have done them. He
does not usually reveal all the details of His will when He first speaks to
you. Instead, He tells you enough so you can implement what He has said, but He
withholds enough information so that you must continue to rely upon His
guidance. Your response will affect what God does next in your life. Your
obedience may affect how others around you experience Christ as well. If there
is any directive God has given you that you have not obeyed, obey that word
immediately and watch God’s perfect plan unfold in your life.
