The Way of Loyalty
Jesus was loyal to Peter even after he was denied, and he was loyal even to those who in the end contributed to his death.TK CHECK AND FIX Even when rejected he was loyal, as in his lament over Jerusalem (Matthew 23:37). He was loyal to the will of God, even when, before his death, he prayed, "Lord, let this cup pass from my lips, nevertheless, not as I would but as you will." And there was never anyone, however maimed or ill or rejected, whom he did not affirm in loyalty long after everyone else had negated them. He was a champion of the oppressed and the downtrodden with a forceful loyalty.Prayer: Lord, keep us loyal even to those TK TK
