Jesus spoke the truth...and they hit him for it.
As I read how the official slapped Jesus because he was supposedly not showing proper respect to the high priest, I still get angry, yet now it is tempered with experience. Had this official known whom he was slapping, I think he may have soiled his robe. Then there is the reality that this official now knows EXACTLY whom he slapped. Did he come to Christ before his death? If not I pity him as I know his future.
Two things I take today.
- People will hate me for the truth.
- How often do I slap Christ in the face with my constant and willful rejection of what I know to be true?
