Matthew 20-17-19

Now as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside and said to them, "We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will turn him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!"
Matthew 20:17-19

Thoughts on the Verse
One thing the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) make clear, Jesus' death on the cross was no accident. Jesus knew the challenge that awaited him in Jerusalem and he walked into it to deliver us from the same fate. If only we will face our challenges with a faith that God will lead us to triumph beyond our pain!

Prayer
Holy God and Loving Father, thank you for your plan to cover my sin with your grace by the death of your Son. May I live aware of his sacrifice and confident of his victory over sin and death, so my life may reflect your victory. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
