So Help Me God

Long ago but not so far away in a different time, a protest took place against the powers and politicians that seized power and control over palestine. Jesus, the candidate of their choice and life, on that final march, that Triumphant Entry that became a Tragic Ending "looked over the city and cried". He saw the venders on the side of the road selling their own brand of T-Shirts and slogans. I can just imagine them, "Jesus - Free US" "Put the Pilot Out" "Romans Rot" "Jews Rule" "Yahweh or the highway".
Yet Jesus made no speech on the Mount of Olives. He didn't ask for a televised debate. He didn't even endorse or approve anyone's ad. When Pilot asked him face to face, "What is truth?" Jesus answered with silence, not a word. I think his beholding piercing gaze said it all "You're looking at it".
May all us seek "the truth that sets us free". "Yet for your sakes he became poor so that through his poverty you might become rich." 2 Corinthians 8:9 As I sat today in a Book Study learning about what it is to be in a relationship with Christ and what it means to offer your all to God, I came to remember how hard it is to give up your self interest and trust His. To give up your "right to know" and trust His leadership in your life is easier said than done.
My prayer for you is to be "invaded" by the Holy Spirit that you would know what it means to truly die to self that He might live!
