Wednesday

Interestingly, the gospels don't tell us what happened on Wednesday, or as the theologians put it, "the record is silent."

Recognizing that Jesus was fully aware of what was about to happen, I have to wonder what was going through His mind...what was He feeling? After all, He is just as much man as He is God, susceptible to all of the same emotions as I am...

Dread of the torture?
Hurt by the denials that were sure to come?
Disappointed in the lack of faith all around Him?
Fear for His disciples?
Anticipation of fulfilling His purpose?
Excitement at the thought of returning to His Father?
Peace in the knowledge that God's plan is perfect and "all things work together for good for those who love Him"?


I imagine He spent Wednesday praying (or "talking to God" as Charlie understands it) in preparation for the worst and the best days of His life...
