here’s my Sunday morning notes. This was a really Good one, although the studying is always Good. We’ve been in The Book of Matthew for over 3 years

Sunday morning Fellowship. Bless us IN Your Word.

Continuing The Book of Matthew chapter 26
Gethsemane - Oil Pressed - Crushed! Agony. Suffering
Sacrifice for us.
Jesus Suffered, Died and Rose again for all of us.

“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭4‬ ‭ESV‬‬

BE Ready! Abide and Watch.

“Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭26‬:‭34‬-‭35‬ ‭ESV‬‬
*Truly - Amen, “so let it be”. “May it be so”
*Jesus knew. Jesus was setting His Plan into place.
*throughout The Book of Matthew, hear all the times Jesus says “Truly”.
What He says, happened, or He Promised to Happen. Truly.

*Peter would deny, be broken, and BE Restored!

“Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go over there and pray.” And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch with me.” And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done.” And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words again. Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Sleep and take your rest later on. See, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭26‬:‭36‬-‭46‬ ‭ESV‬‬
*Jesus prepared for The Sacrifice.
*Every step of the way. Prophecy being revealed.

“When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered. Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.”
‭‭John‬ ‭18‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭ESV‬‬
*This was where Jesus gathered with The Disciples.
*Gethsemane - Oil Press. Jesus came to BE Pressed!
*Jesus is Beyond Sorrowful. So strong. Preparing. Starting to die.
*What Jesus is going through. In His Humanity, He is Understanding what is going to happen. The point of separation in humanity’s sin. Completely alone.

“And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬ ‭ESV
*all of this was meant to be. Preparation for Sacrifice. Completely!
*Jesus Fully God, Jesus Fully man. He agrees Completely to this full burden of all the rebellion and sin of humanity. For all Time!

*““For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.””
‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭21‬ ‭ESV‬‬

*In Gethsemane, Jesus prayed 3 times… Pressing In.
“But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭5‬ ‭
*as oil is pressed. Jesus was pressed. Preparing for Sacrifice.

*See in Jesus. He calls us to “Abide and Watch” , the Disciples fell asleep.

Jesus was alone. Denied. Rejected. Alone.
*In the garden. Jesus took upon Himself. Sin for all of humanity. Sacrifice for all our sin. The wrath of God.

*Completely Submitted to God on our behalf.
*Prepared for Sacrifice.

“Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler. Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name. For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? And “If the righteous is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?” Therefore let those who suffer according to God’s will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬-‭19‬ ‭ESV‬‬
*Peter’s Words!….

“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬
*Pauls
Paul’s Words.

“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭4‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Now Communion, remember everything Jesus did for all of us
