Ever been falsely accused, misunderstood, or blamed for something you didn’t do?

And everything in you wants to prove you’re right.

The night Jesus was arrested,

it wasn’t for a crime He committed.

It was a setup.

They came under the cover of darkness —

armed with swords and clubs —

as if He were a violent criminal.

As if He were dangerous.

But Jesus didn’t panic.

He didn’t fight back.

Instead, He said this:

“Do you think I cannot appeal to My Father…?” — Matthew 26:53

Twelve legions of angels were one prayer away.

He could’ve ended it in a moment.

But He didn’t.

He didn’t argue.

He didn’t resist.

He surrendered.

Not because He was weak —

but because love had a bigger mission.

So what do you do when you’re misunderstood?

Do you fight back just to win the moment…

or pause long enough to ask:

“What response will lead this person closer to God?”

Because sometimes the real victory

isn’t defending your name —

it’s revealing His.

Prayer: God, when I’m misunderstood, teach me to respond like Jesus —

with strength, with clarity, and with love that leads to You.

Amen.
