Mark 14:9
Now, this is one of those verses that lots of people will want to say was added later. But, when you start taking things out of God’s Word just because they don’t fit your measure, you step into dangerous territory.
The fact is that this is one of the most stunning examples of Christ’s prescience. He knew that these words of his would end up in the gospels, and that they would be reiterated over and over. Jesus is one of the few among the prophets that gets this specific on such a narrow subject. Indeed, his statement itself brought about the fulfillment, a characteristic that prophecy sometimes displays. It is truly amazing for he is truly amazing!
Heavenly Father, thank you for the way that you communicate with us. When needed, you are very specific. But, in your infinite wisdom, you choose to keep some things very general. We see your wisdom, but cannot fully grasp why you do what you do. We just stand back in awe. Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
