Is it I?

"Is it I?"
 
I keep thinking about this question.
 
In Mark 14, Jesus had just told His disciples that one of them was going to betray Him and turn Him over to His enemies, and instead of looking around and asking, “Which one of you is He talking about?“ They looked internally. They recognized with humility their fallibility…and with sorrow they looked into the face of the Lord they loved and asked, “Is it I?“
 
Is my heart that honest? My view of myself and of others so measured? Am I humble enough to remember that I am only the mercy-filled blood of Jesus away from the great atrocities I see around me? Are you?
 
“Is it I?” 
 
Micah‬ ‭6:8‬ ‭“He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?”
