April 23- Stabbed In The Back

Judges 1:1-2:9
Luke 21:29-22:13
Psalm 90:1-91:16
Proverbs 13:24-25

Luke 22- ³Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the Twelve. ⁴And Judas went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus. ⁵They were delighted and agreed to give him money. ⁶He consented, and watched for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was present.

Have you ever been stabbed in the back? So then, you know how it feels to be attacked and hurt by one close to you. That's exactly how Jesus must have felt. The only key is, that unlike the times I have been stabbed, Jesus really was totally innocent, pure of any wrongdoing, and not to blame in any way. Even after he had been hurt, Jesus still responded with righteousness. I can't say that I have acted that way. It's sad to think how Jesus was hurt by his friends, for doing nothing wrong. I should learn from his example, live as he lived, and strive to be the man that he has called me to be. A man who always behaves righteously, no matter who is against him.
