Looking Inward

Scripture – Luke 22:20-23:20-23: 20In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. 21But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table. 22The Son of Man will go as it has been decreed, but woe to that man who betrays him.” 23They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this.

Reflection: It’s interesting that the twelve began to question among themselves as to who might be the betrayer. Did any of them think of themselves, or did they just look at each other? It’s far easier to look at other people rather than at myself.

Today I’ll monitor myself – my motives, my faithfulness. I’ll let other people speak for themselves. And I’ll practice taking them at their word without judging their hearts. As for myself, I’ll be wary of the opportunities to betray Christ. With His power and grace, I’ll stand firm.
