Station 1 – Jesus in the Garden

“Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”  An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.  And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.

(Luke 42-44)

Dear Heavenly Father,

A FRIEND LIGHTENS THE LOAD.  And as they led Him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country and laid on him the cross to carry it behind Jesus. And there followed Him a great multitude of the people and of women who were mourning and lamenting for Him. Luke 23.26 and following. . .

Good Morning, Friends.

We follow Jesus on the road to the crucifixion . . . I was trying to devise something encouraging out of this very heavy passage, realizing how…

The biblical accounts from Luke 23 and Matthew 27:

JESUS BEFORE HEROD ANTIPAS. When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had wanted to see him; in fact, he was hoping to see him perform some sort of miracle. He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave no answer. The chief priests and the teachers of the law were standing there, vehemently accusing him. Then Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked him. Dressing our Lord in an elegant robe, they…

We left Jesus standing before the Sanhedrin, with Caiaphas saying, 'we don't need any more witnesses--we heard all we need to hear,' planning to send Jesus to Pilate, governor of Judah~

There is no doubt that this was the most famous and the most important trial in all of history, so let’s take a look at the accounts from all four gospels, as Jesus begins his civil trial.

They bound him, led him away and handed him over to Pilate, the governor. By now it was early morning,…

Everyone who has children should consider taking their children on Good Friday to the service for Stations of the Cross.  I did last year and found it VERY educational for my children.  I think it drove home the true pain of that day. 

I think we (especially parents) tend to skip over the trial and crucifixion of Jesus and go straight for the resurrection.  This practice diminishes the true sacrifice.  My children were 7 & 9 at the time but they were old enough to start…

Jesus finishes his time of agonizing prayer, and returns to his men, barely in time for his friend, Judas, to step forward and kiss him . . . ensuring those who had come to arrest him, that he was indeed The Man.  Luke continues with the events of that night:

The men who were guarding Jesus began mocking him and beating him. They blindfolded him and demanded, "Prophesy! Who hit you?" And they said many other insulting things to him. At daybreak the council of the elders of the people,…

Recently I was asked by the president of CIA(Christians In Action) at a high school here in North Carolina to preach to the club. She came to my church and heard me preach and she told the club that I would be speaking at this huge event at her school.

She told me that they are expecting a lot of students, so the nerves are beginning to kick in. The event is titled "Rock at the Pole". Jesus is the rock and we will be gathered around the flagpole. If the weather is bad we will…

“For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:” (Exodus 34:14)

“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” (Matthew 6:24)

“No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the…

And so Jesus departs from the Upper Room . . . and begins the quiet march toward his arrest.  He returns again this night to the Mount of Olives, and stops in the garden that we hold so dear, the Garden of Gethsemane, where he prayed to his Father, about the agony that was soon to come upon him. . .  Luke 22.39-46 -  www.biblegateway.com

Good Morning~ 

Let's think for a moment about what it must have been…

INTERCESSION

AN INTERCESSOR IS SOMEONE WHO PLEADS ON BEHALF OF OTHERS!

AN INTERCESSOR MUST BE A LOVER OF GOD AND HIS WORD!

AN INTERCESSOR SHOULD KNOW GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!

GOD LOOKS FOR INTERCESSORS TO STAND IN THE GAP OF GOD’S WRATH AND PLEAD FOR MERCY BEHALF OF OTHERS.

Today’s understanding of the word is a group of people who pray, whereas God has commanded all believers to come boldly before His Throne of Grace and get His help and also to pray for…
