“Jesus replied, ‘Yes it is as you say. And in the future you will see me, the Son of Man, sitting at God’s right hand in the place of power and coming back on the clouds of heaven.” Matthew 26:64
I hope over the last two days you have been learning and experiencing more of God’s love for you. We have a few more places to go so let the Holy Spirit take control as He opens our hearts and our eyes and reveals just how loved we are.
Place Number 3-House of Caiaphas
After the arrest of Jesus, He was led away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the teachers of religious law and other leaders had gathered. “Inside, the leading priests and the entire high council were trying to find witnesses who would testify against Jesus, so they could put him to death. But their efforts were in vain. Many false witnesses spoke against him, but they contradicted each other.” Mark 14:55-56
Does it anger you that these men gathered together and tried to make up false accusations about Jesus? Do you know what stands out to me the most? One, they could not come up with anything so they twisted His words around. Two, Jesus stood there and said nothing. He stood and listened to these men laugh at Him and mock Him, and to top it off after they finished their evil scheming they did this. “Then some of them began to spit at him, and they blindfolded him and hit his face with their fists. ‘Who hit you that time, you prophet?’ they jeered. And even the guards were hitting him as they led him away.” Mark 14:65
Are you absorbing all of this or are you just reading over it? Jesus our lover, our biggest fan, our Creator has not only cried His guts out in the garden, but He was then betrayed by one of His disciples, arrested, and brought before a group of selfish, worldly men who falsely accused Him, mocked Him, spit in His face and punched Him. And the whole time Jesus stood quietly full of love!
You are loved! We are loved! We are so loved we have no stinkin’ idea how much we are loved! Jesus loves us so much He gave us His word and said read this and let me share with you just how much I suffered for you!
Jesus today I stand in silence of Your love for me. It is more than I can even begin to comprehend, but what I do comprehend is bigger than what my heart can hold. Amen
