Luke 19:47-48 ” Everyday He was teaching at the Temple. But the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the people were trying to kill Him. Yet they could not find anyway to do it, because all the people hung on His words.”

The Jewish leaders thought they had the upper hand…that they were in control of the situation.  But little did they realize just who they were up against.  And there were many times that angry crowds threatened to stone Jesus…but He slipped away from their grasp. (John 11:8, John 10:31, John 8:59)  In the human mind, the Crucifixion was the Lord at His lowest point of defenselessness and helplessness…but it was quite the opposite.  Jesus Christ came to earth with one mission…to atone for our sins on the Cross.  And during those three years of His ministry…He was in complete control of every situation…every moment…for He was in control of time.  Several times He told His disciples, “My time has not yet come.”  But later, He told them, “My time has come.”  Whatever you may be going through today, remember, Jesus is in complete control of the situation…including time.
