We’re now into that part of John’s Gospel where things are turning against Jesus. In John 13 just before Jesus dismisses Judas to go do his dirty work of betrayal, He quotes from Psalm 41. As I was reading Psalm 41 tonight, I started to imagine that I was Jesus reading that Psalm, and understanding for the first time that it was about me. I wondered if that understanding came as a child, or whether it only came as Jesus was immersed in the events. Don’t know if there’s anywhere to go with that, but it was interesting.
