I missed yesterday, and though it was not on purpose, it was appropriate for the Bible is silent as to what happened on the Wednesday of Holy Week. This is not surprising since Tuesday was such a busy day. It is also not surprising because Jesus often lived as an example to us in how to deal with the big moments of our lives. He was silent because it was a day to prepare for that which was to come. I imagine He spent the day with His friends, enjoying their company, sharing the last few moments together. He probably talked to them about the same things He had said all along, reinforcing the lessons taught over the years. Most of all, I am certain He prayed. The Passion would not be easy for Him in flesh or in spirit. He was about to face the worst persecution. He was about to be arrested for no good reason, lied about, and condemned to die. All this by God's hand. It was the plan all along. But it couldn't have been easy. It would take more strength, more assurance, more faith than anything else He had done. Now, more than ever, He needed to be 'in touch' with God.
So, the fact that Wednesday was silent is not surprising. Jesus was preparing for that which is to come.
