They Didn't Know What to Say!
Then Jesus went back to the followers. Again Jesus found them
sleeping. Their eyes were very tired. The followers did not
know what they should say to Jesus.
-- Mark 14:40 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Sometimes we just fail. Maybe it's because we don't understand the
gravity of a behavior. Maybe it's because we're just too weary and
distraught to do what we need to do. Maybe it's because we're weak or
lazy or ... However, the bottom line is that we are flawed people
living in a fallen world. Despite our best intentions, our flesh
sometimes triumphs over our faith. I can't think of anything that
reminds us of our desperate need for Jesus to be our Savior more than
Jesus' closest followers' letting him down in his moment of greatest
need. Yet he dies for them and then calls them back to his service.
What a message of grace triumphing over sin, disappointment, failure,
and death.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, I pray in your name so often to praise, thank, and request
things from the Father, that I sometimes forget to thank you for your
incomparable love, mercy, and grace to die for us -- to die for me --
when I have let you down and hurt you with my failure and sin. Thank
you! Thank you, dear Father, for such a divine plan to deal with human
weakness and sin. All praise be to you, and to your Son, in whose name
I praise and thank you. Amen.
