What a blessing to partake of the Passover last night with family. I now understand why Yeshua "earnestly desired to eat this Passover before I suffer" (Luke 22:15). He desired to be encouraged by the greatest story of salvation annually told before He became the greatest story of salvation ever told.
It's early morning (6:45 am) and I am tired from the night before even after sleeping. Yeshua has been up all night, is probably standing before the high priest at this moment according to Matthew. Peter is warming his hands around the fire having denied the LORD twice. The third time awaits just prior to the dawn and the rooster.
The completion of the trial before the Sanhedrin has yet to arrive and Ciaphas is about to speak saying, "He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now hear the blasphemy; What do you think?" They answered and said, "He is deserving of death!" (Matt 26:65-66).
In less than an hour when Peter's denial takes place, the cock will crow, and Yeshua will be off to Pilate. Pilate will hear, send Yeshua to Herod Antipas, and when Yeshua returns, Pilate will rendure final judgment after first offering to free Yeshua. Pilate will then have Yeshua flogged, and lead to the cross. All this will be accomplished in the next 2-3 hours so Yeshua can be on the cross around 9 am this morning.
You know the rest of the story. While I am at work and my children at school, Messiah will be on the cross living out the greatest story of salvation every told.
Shalom, Scott
