SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY Matthew 26:57-63
57 Those people who arrested Jesus led him to
the house of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the teachers of the law and the
elders were gathered. 58 Peter followed far behind to the courtyard
of the high priest's house, and he sat down with the guards to see what would
happen to Jesus.
Father,
we know that none of us are 100% humble, for we are clothed in these mortal,
fallible bodies. But we do know that Jesus is the model of One completely humble
in His humanity and divinity. He did not consider equality with You, our Father,
something to be grasped but took on His personhood as a man and became obedient
to death on the cross. We look to Him as the supreme example of humility and
obedience. As we clothe ourselves in Your righteousness we can overcome the
pride that is ever before us. We recognize that no good thing can come from us,
but all that is good comes from You. Remind us daily that the attitude of
gratitude is the antidote for feelings of pride. When we acknowledge that
everything we have and all that we are is due to Your merciful blessings we are
humbled and grateful to You, the Giver of every good and perfect gift.
Amen.
MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE LOVE TO SHARE, HEALTH TO SPARE AND FRIENDS THAT CARE!
59 The leading priests and the whole Jewish
council tried to find something false against Jesus so they could kill him.60Many people came and told lies about him,
but the council could find no real reason to kill him. Then two people came and
said,61 "This man said, 'I can destroy the Temple of
God and build it again in three days.' "
62 Then the high priest stood up and said to
Jesus, "Aren't you going to answer? Don't you have something to say about their
charges against you?"63 But Jesus said nothing.
PRAYER
