In the middle of the night, in the face of fear, he asked his father just one more time to take his misery.  His father had asked him to do the unthinkable—and he asked to be released.

 

But the answer was no.

 

And God turned His back on the Savior and released Him into the hands of evil men.

 

Mark 14 35 Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him. 36 “Abba, Father,” He said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”

 

And so Jesus was alone.

 

His disciples were sleeping.  And when they awoke they would run like cowards.

 

Judas was counting his money.

 

The politicians were finding a narrative to calm the rebellion and the Religious Leaders were still trying to look good.

 

Betrayed

Forsaken

Forgotten

 

And it was the fulfillment of passover.  Astonishing. Those who would receive the blood of the lamb would be saved.  Except this time, Jesus would be the Lamb.

 

He Was Crucified On A Cross Of Wood

Yet He Made The Hill On Which It Stood

 

Do not underestimate the power of this day.  

It is the hope of the nations.

It is our hope.

 

Worship this day in spirit and in truth and surrender to the King of the Jews.

 

He…And He Alone…Is The Key To Eternal Life

 

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
