November 30: Micah 5; Psalm 121; Matthew 27

I wonder if Jesus had Psalm 121 in his head when he was preparing for the cross: I lift my eyes up to the hills.  From where will my help come?

And as he suffered, just as we suffer, he wondered where God was in the midst of it all. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

And God's answer: Resurrection.  New life from the ashes. God's answer is resurrection.
