A Slap in the Face of God
When Jesus said this, one of the guards standing there hit him. The guard said, "You should not talk to the high priest like that!" Jesus answered, "If I said something wrong, then tell everyone here what was wrong. But if the things I said are right, then why do you hit me?" -- John 18:22-23 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
The Temple guard didn't know it at the time, but he was not only slapping a greater High Priest in the face than the one he was protecting, he was also slapping God in the face. Jesus suffered many indignities in his trial and crucifixion. However, the greater tragedy is that those who inflicted these horrible cruelties never had any idea that they were abusing the Son of God, the Messiah that God had sent to redeem them. Yet Jesus suffered these indignities so that we could know that he loves us and will help us in our times of rejection and need!
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father, thank you for your forgiveness. Thank you for your patience.Thank you for long suffering kindness. Thank you for your overwhelming grace. I see these demonstrated in Jesus' willingness to submit to humiliation, abuse, and torture so that the very ones who hurt him could come to know you as their Father and find your saving grace. I know that same grace is given to me. I praise you and thank you inJesus' name. Amen.
Juz now as i recieve the call chain of a sister in Christ Rong Luan being persecuted for her faith in God , i open this email where it is send daily that talk about the book of John with explaination then i read it and all in God timing it has closeness to Rong Luan persecution especially after the explanation n the prayer part but now all we could do is to pray hard to God to be with her as we cry out to God she is being persecuted and even the verge of chasing her out of the hse may the Lord be with her and the Lord answer our prayer fast but i trust in God that His grace would appear at the right timing and His angel would be there with my sister-in-christ to fight the battle with her against satan
