Reading the story of the last days of Jesus' earthly life gives to us a sense of the progressive closing in on Jesus of the powers of evil, as He entered more fully into His suffering for the sins of the world. This is "the old, old story", yet it is "ever new." Out of the depths of Christ's suffering, many centuries ago, comes the voice of God concerning His love, which remains constant for every generation.
God's Word is "a lamp to our feet and a light to our path." He has "wondrous things" to teach us as we pray "Open my eyes that I may see" (Psalm 119:105, 18, 11). "May God's blessing surround you each day, as you trust Him and walk in His way. May His presence within guard and keep you from sin, go in peace, go in joy, go in love." "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your Name give glory, because of Your mercy and Your truth" (Psalm 115:1).
