Today's verse is Mark 14:18-19
And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.
And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?
Many things have been said of this moment, most of which have validity. Yet, let us take note of this: Judas Iscariot had already determined in his Heart to betray Jesus, so he knew that he was the one that Jesus spoke of, and Jesus was giving him the first opportunity to repent, and we know that even as he did the deed, he was given a second, but after that by all appearance his repentance came too late. And it is said of him at his death, He went to his place. What should be our take away? Even at our worst, God is willing to forgive, but he will not wait forever, and there will come a day when we must give an account. On that day, will Jesus be your Advocate, or just your Judge. I know I do not wish to speak for myself on that day. Amen.
To God be the Glory
Scott
