Wednesday, April 5

WHAT HAPPENED ON THE WEDNESDAY BEFORE EASTER?

Though the gospel of Luke states, “every day he was teaching in the temple,“ holy Wednesday is referred to as a day of rest, for Jesus. While in Bethany, a woman anointed Jesus feet with perfume. It is also widely known throughout the church as “Spy, Wednesday. “ While Jesus rests in Bethany, at the home of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, the plot of the high priest, and the authorities to kill Jesus, is in full swing.

Finding an open opportunity, in the greed of Judas, Satan entered him. Judas went to the chief priests and authorities, “and from that moment, he sought an opportunity to betray him. “He would soon betray Jesus, for the price of a slave, and the 12 would scatter. None of the 12 will be left at the foot of the cross as Jesus dies, but John.

Judas betrayed the very man who he followed for years. But because of Spy Wednesday, we see yet another prophecy fulfilled from the Old Testament. Judas role fulfills words declared hundreds of years before and further proves the validity of the Bible and Christianity.

Pray that you are found at the feet of Jesus anointing his feet with perfume, and not a part of any company or any attitude that resists who He is.

The woman anointing Jesus feet, and Judas abandoning who Jesus is are two extreme positions represented on this day. Pray that you more and more are found in the house in Bethany at the feet of Jesus.
