Thursday, April 9 - Mark 14
"You will all fall away."
I can't imagine what Jesus is feeling as he says these words. He knows he will soon die. For the last three years he has poured his life into these disciples, yet they are about to all fall away. Whether it is Peter who denies him three times or the other disciples who disappear, they all fail him. What is hard to imagine is that he is going to the cross so that the disciples can be forgiven for what they are about to do. He goes to the cross for their sin and ours. The love that he expresses through his death is astounding. God's love and forgiveness always from God's generosity. God's love and forgiveness never comes because we deserve it.
