Friday devo

Read Luke 22:63-71. I wonder if those who mocked Jesus had any idea who he was or really understood why he was arrested. It reminds me of those who deny Christ and mock Christians for their faith and yet they don't really know what we believe. It is amazing to me God would allow himself to be treated like this. How much lower and more humiliating can it get - just keep reading!

v. 67 "you will by no MEANS believe." He had already given every means possible. He had calmed the storm - walked on water and raised the dead only to be accused of using satan's power to do it. How low would the savior go to save? He allows himself to be disrespected beyond imagination and the very act of his accusers is the very act he used to save them.

questions
1) is there anyone you would be humiliated for? What kind of love would that take?
2) Who can you go lower to love? How?

prayer
Thank you Lord for going low for us. We want to love with your heart. Let us honor you today with our lives.
