“Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they themselves did not go into the Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover.” John 18:28
They were not defiled for taking the Lamb to be sacrificed.
Lord, I desire to embrace the role each one had in Your crucifixion . . .and how it had to be that way. And here’s a simple poem . . .
Embrace It All
How can I blame someone else
for You crucified
when it was the Father’s will
and already prophesied
better to embrace it all
as You did that day
choosing to die and save the world
You gave Your life away.
