John 8:59 Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple.
The devil had heard Jesus’ prophecy earlier, and it seems he tried to short circuit God’s plan by rousing the crowd at this point to stone Jesus to death. There are no details as to how Jesus hid Himself, but this we know: it wasn’t God’s time or way for Him to die. He had more to do before love had completed its course in Him. It had already been determined that He would be crucified, lifted up for all to see. His life wouldn’t be taken from Him. He was to lay it down of His own accord in obedience to His Father. So it is with us. God has given us another day to live to love with Jesus. Until that ministry is completed, God hides us in His hands and puts people in our paths that He wants to love. May we stay in the flow of His love today.
