마태복음 26:47–56
마태복음 26:47–56 (NIV): 47 While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people. 48 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.” 49 Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.
50 Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.”
Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. 51 With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
52 “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. 53 Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? 54 But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?”
55 In that hour Jesus said to the crowd, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me. 56 But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted him and fled.
Reflect & Pray
How did you respond to a difficult situation recently? How does this compare with how you think Jesus might have responded?
I always try to put the difficult situation under my control and to change as I wanted. These days, I really want to run away from my work, and I don't want to go to work. I am trying to searching better jobs which seems much easier for me. But I know there is not better one, this is my perfect job. He has always given me things much better than I deserve. I believe this is the journey that I am learing what I am good at and what I am not good at. Even though I am not good at, he will help me to get through this.
Father God, give me a new understanding of Your greater purposes in Your kingdom, and a godly, loving, and peace-seeking heart to respond to situations as Your Son did.
God, thank you for today. I didn't get good sleep last night worring about today. God today is your present and your day. Please help me to have much positve mindset rather than thinking today as challenge but a gift.
