Don't fear tomorrow..God is already there.

Scripture ...

Luke 22:2

Reflection ...

People don’t take too kindly to being told they are wrong—not today and not in Jesus’ day either. When someone questions our decisions—or even worse, challenges the way we have chosen to live our lives—we are tempted to write him off as narrow-minded and intolerant.

For many months Jesus has been confronting the Jewish religious authorities. They cling to a religion of works: human rules and traditions by which they believe they earn blessings in this life and eternal life with God afterwards.

But Jesus knows better. He knows His Father in heaven is holy and perfect. God cannot simply overlook the wrongs we do. But even though the Father is just and holy, He is also filled with grace, love and mercy. That is why He sent His own Son, Jesus, to save us.

But the Jewish leaders have rejected Jesus—and they are pushing back hard against Him. Even so, Jesus won’t go away.

So now this huge confrontation is looming. Jesus cares too much to leave the Jewish authorities in darkness. So He shows them their error by teaching them God’s truth. But His words don’t sit well with them. They reach the conclusion that He must be silenced.

Prayer ...
Lord Jesus, thank You for caring enough about me to show me my failings and how to be right with my God by confessing my sins and trusting in You as my Savior. Amen.
