Psalms: 16, 23

Meditation

John: Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, but now, had already taken place. Jesus knows He has but a few days to live, but here He tells His listeners that He will be lifted up – so they would know just how He would die. His prayer of praise to God is answered as that even at this late hour some may come to believe. All of what He says here must be utmost importance because He knows that is just a few days He would die. Save the best or most important for last.
