Matthew 26 – Mark 2
27:1-10 – Judas. How? How was the betrayal possible for him? After 3.5 years with Christ. Constantly learning under His teaching. How could Judas not see the truth? And, if Judas could fall, what about us? Scary thought…
27:26-50 – The beating and crucifixion. I recently watched the Passion of the Christ film. As I read this passage, I saw it in my head. Can words describe what He went through for us? Can a film show it honestly? I don’t think so. It was worse than that. To have all of our sin and shame on His shoulders. Unfathomable.
28:1-4, 11-15 – The guards told the lie of the Pharisees for some money. How could they do that? After being put to sleep by an angel, how could they not see the truth of Jesus Christ and profess Him to everyone? You would think they would have become staunch followers of Jesus Christ.
Mark 1:40-45 – The leper was healed by Jesus. Jesus asked him to keep quiet about the healing. Why? Why did Jesus repeatedly ask that His works be kept secret. And, how would it be possible for the leper not to shout it from the rooftops?
Mark 2:17 – I have always loved this verse. It is not the healthy who need a doctor. Reminds me of me. I am sick. I need a doctor. My sin has infected me. And God can heal me. Christ came for sinners like me. What an encouragement to me.
He didn't see. He didn't hear. He didn't understand. His heart was hard. Oh God, have mercy on us. Open our eyes, our ears, our hearts to You.
I should watch The Passion again. It has been a long time.
The guards. Absolutely. They should have. But then again you would think that Pharoah should have repented too. We people are so good at ignoring the facts and believing lies. Unbelievable.
Keep quiet. Don't tell. Was it just for the practical reason that it was becoming more and more difficult to go anywhere without being swarmed by crowds of people wanting to be healed? Or was there more to it?
People seem to think I am such a good guy. That is because they don't know me like God does. Or maybe they are just being polite.
