WOW! WHAT A WEEK FOR JESUS

Have you ever had a week where it started out with everyone praising you and lifting you up? Then as the week progressed these very same folks turn on you and it seems like it’s the worse week of your life. But then it turns and you are lifted up and know that it is the strength of God that made the way for you to rejoice in the Lord.

Well, Jesus had even a worse week than you but he went all the way to the cross after being praised as he entered Jerusalem and he was lifted up on a cross, died, and was resurrected on that third day by these same folks that sang praises to him. Jesus became sin for us, he shed his precious blood on the cross bringing Salvation to all who will receive him.

Now, your week wasn’t so bad after all was it? Jesus was willing to lay down his life that you might have a hope of eternally life in him. “Oh, what a Savior, Oh Hallelujah, he gave his life’s blood for you and me.”

Can you picture Jesus as he agonizes in the garden? Read with me Luke 22:39-46

³⁹And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.

⁴⁰And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴¹And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,

⁴²Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

⁴³And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.

⁴⁴And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

⁴⁵And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,

⁴⁶And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

Jesus set the example in prayer. Before the week began he took time with the Father to agonize and seek for removal of this cup, yet he was willing to submit his will to the Father’s will and rest in him. Then he arose and was ready to be about the Father’s business. The Father’s business wasn’t pleasant in that he was mocked, beat, and crucified. Yet on that third day he arose a victor and today he reigns forever. Thank you Jesus!

Lord help me to take the time to come before you and agonize over what you would have me to do each day. Lord help me to follow your example and accept your will and get up and go forth and do the work you have set before me in Jesus name I pray.

HE AROSE! HE LIVES! Will you receive life and walk with him today?

REMEMBER

“If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1John 1:9
