“Are You Still Sleeping…?”

December 28, 2017

“Are You Still Sleeping…?”

Blessings folk!

Jesus prayed, asking Father if there was another way other than “the cup”.

Jesus then went to see the disciples.
They were asleep.

Jesus exhorted them to pray rather than sleep.
Keep watching.
Keep praying.

Why?
That they may not come into temptation.
The spirit is willing.
The flesh is weak.

Jesus went away again.
Alone.
To pray.
To pray the same thing…asking Father…

Mar 14:39
Again He went away and prayed, saying the same words.

Jesus returns again to the disciples.
Watch what He finds and what occurs…

Mar 14:40-42
And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy;
and they did not know what to answer Him.

And He came the third time, and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough; the hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

“Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!”

Three times Jesus found them asleep.

I suspect that is the status of most of the professing Body or Christ.
We are asleep.
Will there be true faith when the Lord returns? Will His Body be asleep?

Luk 18:8
“I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly.
However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?”

Jesus had received an answer.

How do I know?
Because of His response.
“It is enough…
The hour has come…
Behold…
The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners…
Get up…
Let us be going…
The betrayer is at hand.”

Action derived from an answer!

May we move in such boldness at the behest of the Lord.
