A Word from Pastor Dennis – June 12, 2020
He withdrew to a solitary place
Matt 14:13
Jesus had just heard of the beheading of John the Baptist. He got into a boat and withdrew to a place where He could sort things out. The crowds followed Him seeking guidance.
Rests or breaks are written in as important parts of a musical score and a lot of one's part in musical performance is involved in silently counting the beats where we do not sing or play and then coming in at just the right moment.
Jesus didn't withdraw to get away from his responsibilities. He was merely "counting the beats" pending stepping into His part in God's plan. Let us do the same.
