I Must Tell Jesus

And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

Matthew 14:12

Reading:

Matthew 14:1-12

This morning (as I usually do Monday mornings) I read the Scripture text that goes with the coming Sunday School lesson (as prepared by Christian Light Publications).

Here are some of my initial questions:

  1. If God sent me to confront someone about sin, what would stop me?
  2. Am I still faithful to my various vows and solemn promises?
  3. Should I try to free myself from any rash promises I may have made?
  4. Where does Jesus fit in my sorrow, turmoil, distress, and/or confusion?

I have been particularly blessed by reading the last five words in this passage. (They are in the green box above and in the wallpaper below.)

Who Else?

I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.

Psalm 30:8

Reading:

Psalm 30

Do you believe this?

“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning” (Psalm 30:5).

Even in the night?

When the jig is up and all is lost?

Then hang in there till daybreak, Mark!
