Mark 14:61
Just You Wait and See
Things aren’t always as they appear. Just wait and see. For instance, Jesus had no earthly possessions, wasn’t married, and when arrested, His friends abandoned Him. He was lied about, mocked, and beaten almost to death.
Mark 14:61 records the high priest questioning Jesus prior to crucifying Him, “‘Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?’” How incongruous. Blessed? Yet Jesus was and is the Son of the Blessed One.
So when we think about our lives or circumstances and they don’t appear as us being the “blessed child of God,” remember that is who we are. Things aren’t always as they seem. Just wait and see.
Heavenly Father, we praise You for Christ, SON OF THE BLESSED ONE, and for our being Your blessed children.

Today, and always, we remember with gratefulness our loved ones, friends, and the many we will never know until heaven, who sacrificed their lives for our nation on 9/11. Today, we also remember with utmost gratitude the Lord Jesus who sacrificed His life for our souls. We must never forget either sacrifice.

When Your Title and Circumstances Don’t Match

When you think of blessings, what comes to mind? Most likely good, positive things: family, supportive friends, peace, financial security. Does Jesus’s title in Mark 14:61, ”Son of the Blessed One,” seem an apt description for Jesus as He stood before the high priest: beaten, abandoned by friends, no earthly possessions, and betrayed? I think we’d agree that Jesus’s title and His circumstances at that time didn’t appear to match. Could it be a message to us that things aren’t always as they appear? Perhaps we should take a look beyond today’s difficult circumstances to the title God has given us – bride of Christ; knowing we’ll experience the full blessings of our God given title in heaven.
Heavenly Father, we praise You for Christ, SON of the BLESSED ONE, and for the blessing of being His bride.

SON of the BLESSED ONE
“Again the high priest was questioning Him, and saying to Him, ‘Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?’”
When you think of blessings, what comes to mind? Most likely good things: Family. Health.Friends. Freedom from worry and fear. Financial security. Does “Son of the Blessed One” seem an apt description for Jesus as He stood before the high priest: beaten, abandoned by friends, no earthly possessions, and betrayed? Yet, in God’s providence, He had the person who sentenced His Son to crucifixion to also affix the name “Son of the Blessed One” to Jesus. Could it be a message to us that things aren’t always as they appear; that perhaps we should look beyond today’s difficulties to the title He has affixed to us – bride of Christ; the title and position we’ll carry into eternity where we’ll experience His fulness and glory?
Heavenly Father, we praise You for Christ, SON of the BLESSED ONE, and for the blessings You have promised us.
