The Blessing and Betraying

Read:  Psalm 41 / Proverbs 9 / Joshua 20 / Mat. 26

Psalm 41:9,11Mine own familiar friend... which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me... I know that thou favorest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
Proverbs 9:5,12 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.. if thou scornest, thou... shalt bear it.
Joshua 20:2 Appoint out for you cities of refuge... until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days.  
Matthew 26:24-28 Then Judas... betrayed him... Jesus took bread, and blessed it… And he took the cup… saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood… for the remission of sins.

Behold the blessing and betraying
Which was foreseen so long ago,
Exactly as our Lord was saying
When He identified His foe. 

Behold the refuge that we find
In Christ who calls us to His table! 
In friendship with Him we have dined,
For by His favor, we are able.
