We've all heard and used the expression, "It all works out", sometimes adding on "for the best." As our Lenten journey proceeds into its final weeks and the focus is on the increased opposition to Jesus and the solidifying of the desire to "eliminate him," certainly, on one hand a situation that doesn't look like it will "work out for the best", but in reality DOES on Easter, it's time for us to modify this old cliche to "God works it out." Why are we afraid to say it? Afraid to be mocked, to be thought of as too pious, or a "faith freak"?
Yet, as in the case of Jesus, if we look back, we see that "nothing happens by chance" and that the worst of calamities has its redemptive dimension. God is so intimately involved in our lives, that even to the minutest detail, he works things out for us, and, I dare say, always for the best!
