And when it was evening He (Jesus) came with the twelve. And as they were at table eating, Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me.” Mark 14:17, 18
Lord I can imagine the shock of the 11 that knew they were not the one he was talking about. In that situation I would have thought to myself though ……am I really strong enough when the going gets rough not to deny You Lord…… I wonder that today too and pray I will be. The preservation of life often kicks in and we will do what it takes to survive. Perhaps Lord that is what happened to Judas. He didn’t have enough faith to believe You could and would meet his every need. Perhaps he had more desires than he had needs so wanted the money.
Thank You Lord that we can trust You with our lives.
Thank You for the peace that You alone can give when we trust You.
These are Your gifts to us and we thank You.
Thank You Lord.
