Chapter 48 Peter Denies Jesus   Peter Denies Jesus Three Times You will remember that Jesus had been praying in the Garden and was willing to submit to God's plan of salvation.  Judas one of His very disciples brought soldiers to capture Jesus, saying the one I kiss is the one you seek.   So, the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him, like a thief. As it was early morning, they first led him to Annas, because he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it would be necessary for one man to die for the people. When day came, the assembly of the elders of the people gathered toge...

  Not My Will but Your Will be Done!! Who is Jesus? Chapter 47 In the Garden  (Mentioned in all four of the Gospels.) The Passover supper was ended, and Jesus spoke plainly to his disciples of his death. Then He prayed thanking God his Father that he had accomplished all that he was sent to do. As it was his custom, Jesus went to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples. And when Jesus came to his usual place of prayer, he went a bit further into the garden taking with him; Peter, James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled. And he said to them, "My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch." Pray that you may not enter into temptation for the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” And Jesus withdrew from them a short distance, and he fell down on the ground with his face in the d...

  Who is Jesus? Chapter 46 “Do This in Remembrance of Me” There are times at your church or your fellowship, when communion is served that the minister will usually read from 1 Corinthians chapter 11: For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also Jesus took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. - - - We are reminded that Jesus was with his disciples at the Passover supper, and because the disciples had been arguing who would be the greatest in the kingdom of God, Jesus made himself an example to illustrate humility and service to one another by washi...

  Jesus is Calling – Come Home – He Waits There is an old hymn that goes like this: Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, calling for you and for me; See, on the portals He’s waiting and watching, Watching for you and for me. Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading, Pleading for you and for me? Why should we linger and heed not His mercies, Mercies for you and for me? O for the wonderful love He has promised, Promised for you and for me! Though we have sinned, He has mercy and pardon, Pardon for you and for me.  Come home, come home, You who are weary, come home;  Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, Calling, O sinner, come home! Come Home! In the beginning, Adam and Eve were placed into the beautiful garden of Eden, and every evening God would come down from heaven and walk and talk with them. But Adam and Eve sinned, and they became spiritually dead and were no longer the same, they were changed. Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the L...

  Who is Jesus? Chapter 45 Jesus prepares for Pass-over and Washes the Disciples Feet You will remember that one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, whose name was Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, “What will you give me if I deliver Jesus over to you?” And they paid him thirty pieces of silver.  And from that moment Judas waited for an opportunity to betray Jesus. You may wonder why one of Jesus close followers would betray Jesus? First Judas loved money more than he loved Jesus. He was also a politician and having the praise of the religious leaders made Judas feel important.  But again, he hoped that Jesus would escape,  and all would be well. Judas and the other disciples had often been there when Jesus disappeared from a crowd as the people were attempting to throw Him over a cliff, so it was possible what Judas hoped would happen, and Jesus would escape and that he, Judas would keep his ill-gotten  gain. So, Judas was now loo...
