Key Verse: Matthew 26:15
15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
Devotion:
... the news continues ...
“Well after another day of disruption I can safely say that this man Jesus certainly does know the Law. He was able to talk circles round every religious person that I saw or heard come to Him. Unfortunately for Jesus I fear that these priests that He is confronting are very powerful and may find a way very soon of getting rid of Him. Indeed He has confronted the chief priests, the Pharisees, the Herodians, the Sadducees and a bunch of others who were in the temple.
I have heard from a reliable source that the chief priests, scribes, elders along with the high priest, Caiaphas, have all got together to try and plot how they can take Jesus away and dispose of Him. What is this world coming to when we hear such talk coming from high places in our temples? At least they have seen sense and have agreed not to do anything on the day of the Passover feast! Seems like they are afraid of the uproar that may result from that... Jesus has been staying out in Bethany rather than in town and I certainly do not blame Him for doing so since tension is rising in town.
I have just heard from a local source in Bethany that Jesus, even though people have been calling Him the Messiah and King, actually sat down and washed His disciples’ feet. I have never heard of anything like that before. Can you imagine how great it would be to have a king that was willing to do their fair share of work with the rest of us? But that same source has told me of a traitor in the midst. One of the disciples that follow Jesus was heard trying to make a deal with the chief priests to deliver Jesus to them. Just who can we trust nowadays?
It has also now been confirmed that there is a direct lines of descendants from both Mary and Joseph back to King David.
Points to Ponder:
What King would act like a servant?
Could this be?
