May the love and grace of God overwhelm you today, wherever you might wander. Ponder on this. The God of the universe, who spoke everything into existence, wants to meet with you, where you are. He loved us first, by creating us in His image. To Him be all the glory, honour and power. Forever and ever. Amen.

Day 11
Matthew 26 v 1 - 75

This passage speaks about a couple of events and it would be difficult to address all of them.

One could almost sense the tense atmosphere in the garden of Gethsemane and how quickly things escalated to the point where Jesus was arrested.

His soul grieved deeply, even “to the point of death” (vers 38), while He asked the Father if this cup [of suffering] could pass Him by, for He was fully aware of what would happen next. He prayed fervently, asking this three times of the Father and while He was sweating blood (Luke 22 v 44), the disciples were sleeping, not a worry in the world, or so it seemed. Perhaps we would have done the same…

Everything played out like a movie scene. Jesus knew it would happen this way and the scenes with their various role players, unfolded just as it was foretold and for this reason He did not retaliate, so the scriptures might be fulfilled.
