Day 518 - Matthew 27 & Psalm 145

 Julie

Jesus is crucified and dies for us...

The Lord helps those that call on him.

This section goes through the crucifixion of Jesus.  At the beginning, Judas commits suicide because he is remorseful for his part that caused the death of Jesus.  Reading about the crowds calling for his crucifixion reminded me of today's culture in which people rally together to "cancel" someone or destroy their reputation.  They get mocked and ridiculed and it destroys them, yet the crowds don't feel a thing or believe they are in the wrong.  It then speaks of Jesus' death, burial and resurrection.  I feel like I've heard more detail before but maybe it comes in other books.

The last line stands out to me, "My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord.  Let every creature praise his holy name for ever and ever."
