60 Seconds of Hope with Horace McMillon
The Comfort of Friends
The Comfort of Friends
“He said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,” Luke 22:15
Jesus knew his purpose and was faithful to his mission. But that didn’t make it easy. The message that Jesus preached was a threat to the status quo. He knew it wouldn’t be long before the religious and political authorities came for him. His life was going to be taken soon.
Jesus didn’t want to die. He was under intense pressure and stress. He was literally sweating it as the expression goes and the Gospel describes. But he didn’t waver from his purpose. Instead he sought the comfort and companionship of his closest friends, of his ritual and tradition, and of centering prayer.
The cheering crowd is fickle. Jesus knew he couldn’t count on them. He instead turned to the people who had been through it all with him. They weren’t perfect. He was very clear about who they were and how they would do, even about the ways they would let him down. But their love and commitment were real.
Do we have those kind of friends in our lives? Are we being this type of friend to each other? Jesus separately declared us his friends. Are we?
