In John 13:18 Jesus quotes Psalm 41. Jesus had just finished washing ALL of the feet of his disciples. Before he celebrates his last Passover meal with them, he tells them that all of them should follow his example...well all but one. Jesus knew that one was at that moment committed to betraying him. To show the pain this was causing him, Jesus quotes the psalm. By quoting Psalm 41, Jesus invites his followers to join him in living the psalm by serving those in need even when in pain.  

Every Monday in Lent join me for 700 Seconds in a Psalm as we prepare for Easter by looking at Psalms that Jesus quotes during the week before his death. Surprisingly, Jesus quotes more than 10 Psalms that week! We won't have time to examine every Psalm, but we will examine 6 Psalms Jesus quotes before and during his time on the cross.
