I've had a rough weekend, so I fell behind in bible reading posts and am getting caught up.
Leviticus 17 & 18, Mark 14: 17-42, Psalm 35: 19-28
Mark 14: 27 (ESV)
“And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is
written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.”
I was listening to a commentary from David Guzik on verse 27
from Mark 14, and he said when Jesus made this prediction to his disciples it
was because he knew their minds and what they would do before they did. It made
me wonder if Jesus knows the minds of all of his followers like he knew the
minds of his disciples. Does he know what we’re going to do before we do it? Does
he see all of our choices and waits to see what choices will we make? I like to
think Jesus knows my mind, but I’m also of the opinion that he waits to see if
I will make the right choice. He is so patient with me. More patient than I am
with myself. And when I make a mistake, he leads me to ways of repentance with
kindness and firmness. That’s my experience of Christ at least. What is yours?
