“For they said, “Not during the feast, because there might be a riot among the people.”” – Mark 14:2
When I read this verse, I picture the tension in the air as the leaders conspire against Jesus, weighing their options against the potential chaos that could ensue. Mark 14:2 reveals the apprehension of those in power, who prioritize their own interests and fear over the truth of the Gospel. This serves as a reminder that even in critical moments, fear can lead us to delay or avoid doing what is right. As Christians, we must be vigilant against letting fear dictate our actions, choosing instead to stand firm in our faith regardless of the circumstances.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, help us to act courageously in our convictions, even when faced with opposition or fear. May we be bold in sharing Your truth and love, trusting in Your guidance. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
