The Story - Chapter 26 - The Hour of Darkness

We will be traveling through Holy Week in The Story this week.  This time will prepare us more thoroughly for our Holy Week experience next week.  Studying God's word, reading all that takes place, will help tune our senses and prepare us to walk closer with Jesus as He faces death.

Today we find Judas preparing to betray Jesus and we move right into the Feast of Unleavened Bread.  Jesus instructed a few disciples to "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, 'The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.'"  Matthew 26:18 (NIV) 

I love how Jesus has even this detail planned and ready for his disciples to execute.  This is another example of His caring for all aspects of life.  Jesus wants us to be comfortable, He wants us to be able to move forward without doubt and fear.  When He handles the details like this it makes me know that when I turn to Him for the bigger things in life, He will be all over them.
