Know the Light
When
Jesus needed rest, He and the disciples stole away from the crowds, many times
to the quiet, olive tree-laden hillside of the Garden of Gethsemane. The night
of Judas’ betrayal was different.

If it be possible, let this cup pass from
me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.
Matthew 26:39
|
The
chosen 11 were with Him, but Jesus already felt heaviness and sorrow, even unto
death, and wanted the three closest to Him to go further and “sit…and watch
with me.” But even they could not appreciate His severe suffering…His profound
sense of the evil of sin resting upon Him. His God-nature wanted to obey the
will of His Father. Conflict with the man-nature made Him ask, “If it be
possible, let this cup pass from me.” The extreme passion of the moment was
lost on the disciples. They slept as He agonized. Jesus was alone with grief so
intense it was beyond human knowledge.
After repeated prayer, Christ stepped forward. Knowing the Father’s answer, and with resolute fortitude and tranquility, He accepted the darkness and trials to come – so He could be your Light forever. Pray now for those in darkness, including your leaders in this nation, that they may know and love the true Light of the world.
