A short one today. It amazes how the Spirit reveals to others and they can pick up the smallest details in scripture when I read through verses and verses and it pleases Him to keep me ignorant. I know that some time well understand all things. All things that will be revealed including the obstacles and pain that many of us face. I pray God presses in our hearts the truth and gives us comfort in His understanding and guidance.
Extra Credit: Not only do we as men love darkness but we can not fully understand the light or the periods of night that we must go through as Christians without His eyes and His time in revelation. This poem (song) recently was sent to me and I found much encouragement in the words spoke so true Some Time Well Understand by Maxwell N. Cornelius.
Jhn 13:30 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
- Why after He received the sop?
There is something more here, something deeper, than a mere reference to the time of the day. As Judas went forth on his dastardly errand, there then began that (hour) of the Power of darkness (Luke 22:53), when God suffered His enemies to put out the Light of life. So, too, it was (night) in the soul of Judas, for he had turned his back on (the light). Like Cain he went out from the presence of the Lord; like Baalim he loved the wages of unrighteousness; like Ahithophel he went to betray his familiar friend. It was (night): Men love darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil: fitting time was it, then, for the son of perdition to perpetrate his dark deed! (Immediately) he went: his feet were swift to shed blood! Taken from commentary by A. W. Pink Exposition of the Gospel of John (John 18:3)
