Good morning ladies,
The word of the day is “pell-mell.” Could you imagine being sold out by one of
your closest friends? This was the place
that Jesus was in. It must’ve been a
little bit lonely and frustrating. In
today’s passage we see that when Jesus is arrested all those who are close to
him pretty much deserted and left him to fend for himself. After so many years of ministry, building
relationships, making a difference… Jesus was now alone.
55 At that time Jesus said to the crowd, “Am I leading a rebellion
that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in
the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me. 56 But this has all
taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the
disciples deserted him and fled.” ~Matt. 26:55-56
My question is: have you made the decision to follow Jesus,
even when times get bad? If his own
disciples left him when the going got tough, how much more should we be
concerned about doing the same thing?
Even though God is always in control of situations, we see that
sometimes even those closest to Jesus were unable to understand the chosen path
that needed to be fulfilled. What was at
one point a strong coalition of disciples and followers was now a pell-mell
mass of jumbled and confused individuals.
My prayer morning is that each of you make a decision to remain loyal to
the Savior, no matter what the circumstances.
We need to stick together as the family of God. Allow Jesus to solidify your faith a little
bit more today.
Praying for you,
MO
