SCRIPTURE: Matthew 26:2 Jesus speaks of His crucifixion
verse 12 Jesus speaks of His burial
verse 21 Jesus speaks of His betrayal
verse 31 Jesus speaks of the disciples forsaking Him
verse 32 Jesus speaks of his resurrection!
OBSERVATION: This passage of scripture all takes place before Jesus had been arrested. He was well aware of what was about to happen. It would not end with His death, but with His resurrection!
He knew what he had to go through; He also knew where it would all end! He knew of the victory that would be his after his suffering and death.
APPLICATION: The Lord is well aware of what is ahead for me. He knows the hard times that may be ahead. He knows how it will end. He knows it will end in victory!
Even before entering the hard time before me, I can speak of the victory that will be mine when it is over.
Like Jesus, even before my death, I can speak of the victory ahead—of the glory of my future abode! And when my family grieves at my funeral, they can rejoice at the victory I have gained in heaven! Because I have assured them of my destination, they can have a measure of joy during their grieving!
PRAYER: Lord, when it seems there is no way to deal with trouble except to take it head on and go through it, help me remember that you already know how it will end. You already know the victory ahead! Amen
