Happy Sabbath dear friends!!!It is my humble prayer that we may take the time to reflect on how Christ suffered on our behalf.This evening I had the privilege to hear my friend share for the first time and God spoke through her.
Her sharing was based on Matthew 26:36-56-Jesus in Gethsemane.
A few things stood out for me:
-Sin is evil and it caused Jesus,the Creator of the universe,to suffer anguish and pain
-Jesus,could have said,or decided to have His own way and go back to heaven.I mean,He came to die for the disciples,YET they were sleeping!Yet,instead of giving up,He went back to prayer.Dear friends,Prayer strengthens the soul.There are times in the Christian journey when you are just tired and discouraged,but whenever we open our hearts to Him,the soul is refreshed!
-How humble is Christ-even when He could call on thousands of angels to kill his enemies,He still chose to take the narrow path,the painful path.Indeed,he was silent unto death!
How deep is God's love for each one of us,dear friends.Gethsemane,was the deciding factor-our fate hanged there-and Jesus,as he saw us redeemed,ad he saw how weak we were,He chose shame,so that in exchange,we may be glorified.
Let us respond to THIS PRECIOUS GIFT-SALVATION.
May we be broken by Christ and may we humble ourselves too and let Him reign in our hearts.May we take time,daily,to reflect on how much God has loved us and fearfully respond by loving Him back!
Indeed,God is worthy,He is the King of Kings,all honor,glory and power belong to Him!
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cros

Philippians 2:5-8King James Version (KJV)
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cros
