Silence

The Bible doesn't say what happened on Wednesday of the Holy Week. There is silence. I wondered what was going through the mind of Jesus on that day. He had ridden into Jerusalem with people praising His name, then only a short time later they were turning against Him. He knew what was ahead for Him. Yet because of His great love for us and knowing it was the only way to save us, He chose to obey God.

Being a man as well as God's Son, he needed rest and refreshment. Did God use this time to help His Son? In my mind I have to believe He did. Even though it was a difficult time for Jesus, His Father was there providing for His needs. That is the kind of God we serve. He doesn't always keep us from difficult situations, but He is there with us, carrying us through each step of the way.

"..for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."    Hebrews 13:5

Friend, whatever situation you find yourself in today, I can tell you by personal experience that Jesus IS the answer. For many years I walked alone, and at the age of 33 I accepted Jesus as my personal Saviour. Though life has had it's ups and downs, I have NEVER walked alone. God has and continues to be my guide. At times I stumble and make mistakes. When I seek His forgiveness He restores me to fellowship with Him. His love is precious and unconditional towards me. What a Saviour!
