Evil is up early

Here’s what I came across last night, reading from Mark 15.1:

And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate.

Late the night before, they were busy plotting, arresting, and interrogating Jesus. The following day, ‘straightaway in the morning’ — which in Hebrew means literally ‘at daybreak’ — they were already holding a consultation, binding Jesus up and taking Him to Pilate. By 9am Jesus was hanging on the cross!

Evil is up early. If you want to beat it, make sure you’re up by daybreak — or before.
