Leviticus 13
As someone in the medical field, I found this chapter very interesting. It's literally like the first divine infection control. I don't see how the Hebrews could have known what was contagious and what wasn't and put all this together, like some skeptics claim.
V. 40-41 I won't name names, but I bet there are a few in our number who are relieved by this verse :-)
The control of disease via person to person contamination and mold control ensured the Israelites' survival. I don't see God visiting any other people and giving them similar instruction. The whole thing is amazing and another example of how God takes care of His own.
Matthew 26:26-50
v.33 "I'll never be made to stumble!" cries Peter. Oh, Peter, Peter....it's been said that our greatest strength is also our strongest weakness. Anytime we think we're impervious to temptation or sin in a certain area, we can be sure Satan will strike there. There was an area my life in a time past that I was convinced I would never be vulnerable in, and wouldn't you know it, the one circumstance I was totally unprepared for proved me wrong.
V 38 Ever been up really late with a friend who needs you, even on the phone, and fallen asleep? It's a horrible feeling. Jesus had no problem praying all night; it was His fear, sorrow, fate that kept Him crying out to God. What would inspire me to pray all night without ceasing, I thought. Could I even do it? I can only think of a few things, and they are too horrible to even mention. I can barely even imagine what Jesus must have been going through; it breaks my heart.
V 50 I can imagine it must have broken His as well...yet even though He knew what Judas was up to, He still called him friend. Jesus wasn't detached from all this, as I have thought many times. He felt it when his friends fell asleep, He felt it when Judas betrayed Him, when one by one his friends all fell back as the guards led Him away....and that was before the really bad part.
I don't like to even try to wrap my mind around that kind of hurt, suffering, and rejection. And it was for me. Wow. I just have to end this here.....
