Day 39- Jesus Last Teaching Before His Betrayal
Day 39- Jesus Last Teaching Before His Betrayal
In the Upper Room there is a note of finality in Jesus’ every action and word. For tonight, as He speaks, His betrayer comes carrying a coin purse with 30 silver pieces followed by a garrison of armed Roman soldiers and the blood-thirsty Jewish leaders. His disciples feel the intensity of the moment and the significance of their Master's words as the stars rise in the middle-eastern night sky. With everyone, less the betrayer, hanging on every word, Jesus taught them one last time. "Remain in me, and I will remain in you. I know longer call you servants, but friends. They have persecuted me, they will also persecute you. The world will hate you because you belong to me. But do not fear, I will send you the Holy Spirit to comfort and guide you." After teaching Jesus pauses, looks up to Heaven and prays to His Father on behalf of His disciples.
