Today we hear again of quite a few names, especially on the Israel/Northern side. And this culminates with Tiglath-pileser of Assyria deporting the people of Israel. Because of a heavy bribe, Judah avoids this by becoming a vassal state of Assyria. Actually, this was probably wise on king Ahaz's part. Judah has not always so wise in interpreting the signs of the time.
Today's psalm is one of the most beautiful of them all, and an expression of hope for anyone in despair.
In John 13 we heard of Jesus taking the role of a servant and washing the disciples’ feet. Judas left the upper room, and Peter was told that he would deny knowing Jesus three times.
