400th Post Jesus Said On His Rejection and Death Con't. - Matthew 26: 45 - 46.

Matthew 26: 45 - 46; Mark 14:41 - 42.
Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.
This was spoken by Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane on the night He was betrayed. Jesus had asked them to watch and pray with Him, during this difficult time. Jesus had been struggling with drinking the cup God had given Him to drink or not. Jesus spoke these words to the disciples after He had made the decision to fulfill His destiny. The mob was approaching that was going to arrest Jesus. This was all going by God's plan. The disciples realized that Judas was the one who betrayed Jesus! They did not know up to that moment. The disciples had spent all afternoon and evening with Jesus and had learned a lot from Jesus on that night. Now the time comes for them to stand with Jesus, and they scatter like lost sheep. How much like them are we? It is very easy, to say how you will act, before you are put into a similar situation; and when it comes, instead of rising to the occasion, we cave and run. We have to remember, that when we walk with God, it is no longer by ourselves, if we are acting according to God's will, we will be succssessful. Are you walking with God??
