Jesus speaks to the disciples. He isn’t looking for them to fight for Him. Jesus could ask for an army of angels. If a legion is about 5000 soldiers, then He could have had 60,000 angels protect Him. That would be more than enough to withstand the entire Roman army. Yet, His battle was with Satan and against sin. He paid the price for ALL of our sins… past, present, and future. He did so willingly because of His great love for us. We now have the chance to live for Him. Enjoy that grace each day!!

Let them know that Jesus knew the power of angels. Yet, he took on the weight of sin and died in our place. Continue to thank Him for that great sacrifice. Then, Take Time For God’s Word each day and remember 26:53 when you think of angels, then remember this verse. You may want to save this verse card as a Photo on your phone.

Today we recall all of the many first responder organizations like the Red Cross and others. They go into disastrous situations in order to provide comfort, care, and hope to those affected. They make a HUGE impact. They take on some great risks. They depend upon the generous gifts of others to continue their mission. So, help where you can. Volunteer if you can. Support in any ways you can for this type of group. Be blessed because of it. Stay blessed always. Pass it on through unselfish acts of love.
