Early One Morning

Sometimes we comfort ourselves, finding solace when we slip into unbiblical attitudes and behavior. I was thinking about this one day as I considered what I would do differently if I had only one month to live. How easy it is to think that my current trial, whatever it may be, gives me an “out”, an excuse, from the Word's instructions. But we have an example. I remembered this little clip from an article I wrote several years ago. I just thought I would pass it on again.
Early one morning, after a particularly difficult week and a challenging weekend, Jesus went to visit some friends. These friends had just recently abandoned his cause, and one had even denied knowing him. But, that morning they had been up working most of the night. Recognizing that they were hungry and discouraged, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, God Incarnate, King of kings, Lord of lords, the Lamb of God who was tortured, bled and died for the sins of the whole world, the Risen Savior. . , . . . .
