‘Recorded By A Witness.’
John 19:34-35.
The awful pain and vulgar bloodiness of the Cross of Christ cannot be exaggerated. Isaiah gives us some glimpses of it in his Prophecy and here again in John’s Gospel it is recorded by a faithful witness.
a) One of the soldiers plunged his spear into Jesus’ side.
b) At once blood and water poured out from the wound.
c) The one who saw it happen was a faithful witness, what he said is true.
d) It is recorded that we might Believe.
(Through this QT: Recorded By A Witness, I resolve not to listen to tales and gossip, rather I only want to listen to Truth spoken or written by a witness)

‘Darkness Hidden In Our Heart Can Cause Chaos.’
Luke 22:21-24.
a) Luke 22:21. Jesus knew that His betrayer was right there at the same table and He opened the fact that He knew.
b) Luke 22:22. The Son of Man would die as God had decided.
c) Luke 22:22. How terrible it would be for the betrayer. Darkness was hidden in Judas’ heart.
d) Luke 22:23. The Disciples were confused, instead of praying and opening their hearts they just began to discuss amongst themselves who the betrayer was. Chaos had already begun.
e) Luke 22:24. Then an argument broke out among the Disciples as to which one of them should be thought of as the greatest. Chaos reigned.
(Through this Second I realise that any Darkness Hidden In My Heart Can Cause Chaos)

Sometimes True Believers spend times in fruitless discussion when we should be praying. Fruitless and negative discussion makes nothing positive it never produces any good result only gossip and eventually chaos. God answers Prayer – let us not forget that.
