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.
