Alone In The Crowd

FEBRUARY 15, 2022
Daily Reading – Leviticus 1-3 / Matthew 26:26-56

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 26:56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

     Have you ever been in a crowded room where people are laughing, talking, enjoying the event, but you do not know anyone there? People are nice as they walk by saying, “hello, how are you,” but they do not know you either and are just making small talk. In a crowd of thousands, you can feel completely alone.

   Today’s verse says Jesus’ friends all left Him. There He was, surrounded by people, yet alone. Even worse, all who surrounded him wanted to hurt him. Not only was He alone, He was also tormented.

    What a horrible experience for the creator of all to endure. His own creations were torturing Him, and the ones who said they loved Him left him alone. However, this same Jesus has told us, He would never leave us nor forsake us. He does not want us to ever feel alone.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

 What comfort does His presence bring to you?
