Jesus responded, "Elijah is indeed coming first to get everything ready. Yet why do the Scriptures say that the Son of Man must suffer greatly and be treated with utter contempt?"
O God, I am not sure how Jesus endured the unfairness he suffered, especially knowing that it was coming and knowing that he had the power to squash anyone or anything that opposed him. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for enduring all the indignities and unfairness that you faced. Thank you for sacrificing yourself for me. O Lord Jesus, it is in your name that we offer our thanks, praise, and prayer to the Father. Amen.
