To have your cake - and eat it
Every so often a verse from the Bible jumps at you to challenge us to think afresh about how we are to follow Jesus. Well, for the last week or so I have been carrying around Mark 14:21.
It’s one of those verses which I have read many times and simply passed over, not really giving it a second thought. Until now.
We are at the last supper and Jesus has just shocked his disciples to the core as he reveals that one of them is about to betray him. They can’t believe it.
