The Bible says that You were in such anguish when Your time had come. Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, gave you away to the Roman soldiers for thirty pieces of silver. Yet the Roman soldiers saw You almost daily, out in the open, and preaching in the temple. Thirty pieces of silver (Matthew 26:15) to betray a person who went about publicly, and without reservation, spreading the miracles of God--healing the sick, making the lame to walk, opening deaf ears and blind eyes, feeding thousands with little; and who publicly declared that He and the Father are one. (John 10:30; John 17:21)
The people spat on You, humiliated You publicly, and shouted to Caiphus "crucify him".
You told Peter, Your disciple who walked with You, that he would deny You three times before the cock crowed. (Mark 14:30; Luke 22:34) You died on the cross to save us. Your mission and Your purpose was to die and when You shared this information with those who walked, slept, and ate with You daily, they were unable to fathom that they were in the very presence of God. And many shall come to You in the last day saying that they have done many good works, and You shall say, "depart from me, you who work iniquity, I know you not." (Matthew 7:23; Luke 13:27)
Lord Jesus, I feel Your presence. Thank you so much for Your love.
If you believe in Jesus
but have not given your life to Christ, accept Him into your heart today.
Christ Jesus, please come into my heart. Lord Jesus become my personal
Lord and Savior.

Exercise your authority to tread on serpents and to cast out demons. You are the head and not the tail. Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. Exercise your holy boldness.
