Friday, February 14 — Psalm 24
2 Chronicles 21:18–23:21; Acts 22:17–29
Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Isaiah 53:3 NIV
Pilate said to them, “Behold the man!” John 19:5
We avert our eyes, suffering Lord. We avoid looking at you in the hungry, homeless, and hopeless. We do not want to see you broken and vulnerable. And yet, how can we help but behold you, to see your love, your desire to be one of us, your desire to save us? Amen.
