Today's reading: Matthew 27

I can't help noticing the troubling cry of the crowds in verse 25: "His blood be on us and on our children!" Oh, the folly! But I also hear an echo of grace, for in spite of their rejection of Jesus, His blood is indeed "on us and on our children"—not in guilt, but in grace. This promise is "for us and for our children" (Acts 2:39). Thanks be to God!
