Left Alone to Face the Fury
Then all of Jesus' followers left him and ran away.
-- Mark 14:50 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
For me, this is one of the saddest verses in all the Bible. Jesus is
completely left alone by those whom he had loved, trained, warned, and
prepared. The Son of God will now face the pent-up fury of those who
have hated him. He will bear unspeakable brutality and have no one to
stand with him in his time of agony. He will die alone. Because he has
faced abandonment, we can rest assured that he knows how we feel when
we are abandoned, betrayed, and abused. However, because Jesus died
alone, he has promised us we would never be abandoned. He promises to
be with us every step of the way.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father, in those times that I feel most alone and abandoned, please
help me remember Jesus and realize that he not only knows those
feelings of abandonment, but he also has promised to never abandon me.
Thank you for this assurance based on such a costly sacrifice. In
Jesus' name I thank you. Amen.
