Psalm 41 & Matthew 26

Part of my reading during prayer this morning was Psalm 41. In particular verse 9 stood out as we find ourselves at the Thursday of Holy Week. This text is alluded to by Jesus in Matthew 26:20-25 (particularly verse 23). Here is a reminder of what Jesus went through for the sake of his people - he was betrayed by one of his own disciples.

It is difficult to comprehend the depths of all that Jesus endured for the sake of our salvation, but it is a good practice to seek to understand. The depths of love that the Lord showed for his people is immense and may it lead us to worship and thankfulness.
