God's Works of Wisdom for Wednesday 20 April 2011

"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"

Events of Holy Week Leading up to the arrest, trail, crucifixion, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Wednesday Day 4

Event: Mary Anoints Jesus at Bethany
Biblical Reference: John 12:1-8  "Mary in these verses not only anointed Jesus feet with costly oil with her hair she also anointed His head (Matthew 26:7 and Mark 14:3).  The custom at that time was to anoint the heads of guests.  Anointing Jesus' head was an act of honor; anointing His feet was a display of devotion.

Event: Judas Bargains with the Jewish Leaders to Betray Jesus
Biblical Reference: Luke 22:3-6  "The journey to the Cross was not just a matter of human effort or Judas's plots.  Cosmic forces were at work in the opposition to Jesus.  Satan who was the adversary to Jesus when He was here on the earth is still the adversary to those who call upon the name of Jesus for forgiveness.  Judas plot to betray Jesus was fortunate from the point of view of the Jewish religious leaders.  They could arrest Jesus secretly and later claim that the driving force to stop Him came from within His own group of disciples.

Today's Hymn: "Have Thine Own Way Lord" (Verse 1)

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Thou are the Potter, I am the clay
Mold me and make me after Thy will,
While I am waiting, yielded and still.

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit,  How marvelous it is a Christians to have you within our life's.  Holy Spirit we pray that you will mold us after Thy will so that we will be more like Jesus.  Help us to wait upon You.  Help us to yield everything within us to You.  Help us to be still so that we can can hear your gentle voice speak to our hearts and minds.
                                                                                                                               Amen

Yours in Christ,

Whiter than snow, Lord, wash me just now, As in Thy presence humbly I bow
