In
the evening Jesus arrived with the twelve disciples. As they were at the table
eating, Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, one of you eating with me here
will betray me." Greatly distressed, each one asked in turn, "Am I
the one?" He replied, "It is one of you twelve who is eating from
this bowl with me. For the Son of Man must die, as the Scriptures declared long
ago. But how terrible it will be for the one who betrays him. It would be far
better for that man if he had never been born!" Mark 14:17-21

| Are you closing the gate to your heart? Denying Jesus Christ? Gate at the Garden of Gethsemane - Jerusalem. |
One of you will betray me. Am I the one? Betrayal is serious. A denial of a relationship.
Jesus was disclosed to His enemies by one of His disciples. Each one wondered… “Am I the one?”… “Surely not I?” (NASB). Do
you ever doubt your own loyalty to the Lord? Would you ever deny Him? Do we
deny Him by just not following His rules, commandments, guidance, by not treating
others in the way He has taught? That is pretty harsh.
Give the following instructions to the people of
Israel: If any of the people—men or women—betray the LORD by doing wrong to another
person, they are guilty. Numbers 5:6
Try as hard
as we can…we still need the Lord’s help. Love God…love your neighbor as
yourself. How are you doing with that? Begin with love God…love yourself. You
are created in His image.
Prayer
~ Lord God—just as You spoke to Israel through Moses…"Hear, O Israel! The
LORD is our God, the LORD is one! You shall love the LORD your God with all
your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. These words, which I
am commanding you today, shall be on your heart." Deuteronomy 6:4-6 NASB.
These words are on my heart, Lord, and I do love You with all of my heart, soul
and might.
