When It’s Good To Question Ourselves

“Surely not I, Lord?” (Matthew 26:22)

When something goes wrong, how quickly do we look for someone else to blame?

That’s where the disciples were in the Gospel of Matthew. When Jesus told them one of them would betray him, they didn’t accuse one another or try to predict who it would be.

Each one asked:

“Surely not I, Lord?”

They were willing to consider that they themselves might be part of the problem.

When things don’t go the way we hoped, it’s easy to assign fault elsewhere—to protect ourselves, to defend our position, to protect our pride.

But the more important questions take a different kind of courage:

What role did we play?

What do we need to learn?

What might we need to change?

We grow when we stop looking for someone to blame

and begin taking responsibility for what is ours.
