IS IT I, LORD?

Matthew 26v20-22

When it was evening, he reclined at table with the twelve. And as they were eating, he said, "Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me." And they were very sorrowful and began to say to him one after another, "Is it I, Lord?"

When Omniscience speaks, we must listen! We must respond appropriately and still look to the Holy and Righteous One. But we human beings often forget and quickly so, what we are in our natural (fallen) selves that we are sinners, betrayers of the Lord and of one another at our best! We are fleeting shadows in the economy of God’s creation. Honestly, how do you pose such a question to THE GREAT I AM as though you doubt Him? I see such questioning of the Omniscient and all-seeing Almighty God by awe-bereft creatures of the dust as perplexing and almost sacrilege (when you look at Simon Peter’s confession and Jesus’ response in Matthew 16v13-17; Mark 8v29; John 6v68; Luke 9v20-22). I do not disparage the disciples at all. But how could John or Peter for instance simply not cry if he really distrusted himself, for the Lord to prevent the betraying, knowing the seriousness of the matter? Check Matthew 14v28-30.
