Luke 22:63-71
Jesus had been deserted by His disciples, betrayed by a friend, and denied by Peter. Now He is
mocked by those guarding Him and being rejected by the leaders of the people God sent Him to save.
How did He handle all this? “But from now ON THE SON OF MAN WILL BE SEATED AT THE RIGHT
HAND of the power of God.” (69) Jesus was having more than a bad day, but He was able to look
beyond that day to the place God was giving Him because of His work and obedience. Like Jesus we
must look beyond the brief time our enemies seem to be triumphing over us, to the place God has for
us so we can serve Him and His people in the power of the Holy Spirit.
