Holy Week Retreat 2022 — Day 4 Wednesday of Holy Week

Although the Suffering Servant has been given a well-trained tongue, he does not rebel or argue. He doesn’t even shield his face from “buffets and spitting.” Perhaps in his heart, the Suffering Servant is uttering the prayer of the Psalmist, “In your great love, Lord, answer me” because he knows the Lord hears him and will deliver him from his enemies. While the Suffering Servant and the Psalmist both know that the Lord will deliver them, it is Judas now who delivers the Lord into the hands of the Chief Priests. It is this irony that brings about our deliverance from sin and death.
