1 Chronicles 28:1-21; Ezekiel 24:1-25:17; John 9:1-17
And they all forsook him, and fled. Mark 14:50
The night the Lord was betrayed, He was abandoned by His disciples. Later, on the cross, He cried, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” (Mark 15:34). When the Lord faced that mighty work He had come to do, no one came to His aid. In contrast, He has promised to “never leave thee, nor forsake thee” (Heb. 13:5) and when we fail, “we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous” (1 John 2:1). May our hearts be lifted in worship today as we contemplate who He is and what He has done. —Luke Urban
As Advocate on high,
My soul, He pleads for thee!
And when I wander,
Draws me nigh,
He ever lives for me! —George W. Frazer
