Life Isn't Fair - Fortunately

Exo 12:41-42 ESV
(41) At the end of 430 years, on that very day, all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.

(42) It was a night of watching by the LORD, to bring them out of the land of Egypt; so this same night is a night of watching kept to the LORD by all the people of Israel throughout their generations.


Mat 26:38 ESV
(38) Then he said to them, "My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch with me."


Mat 26:41 ESV
(41) Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

Jesus stayed up and watched… but it did Him no good. He was not delivered. The death angel did not pass Him by.

Those who slept… they were delivered. We should probably never mention the word ‘fair’ to Jesus as we go down our complaint list.
