John 19:17 & 18 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
Matthew 26: 36-41
He walked with Jesus. He saw the miracles. He was trusted enough to handle the money. Others did not see him as evil. JUDAS. A name that even today we think of betrayal. Greed, for 30 pieces of silver he was willing to betray the ONE who loved him.
We wonder how he could do such a horrible thing and yet, do we betray Jesus with our attitude, our indifference or our sin? When Jesus told the disciples that one would betray Him, each one asked, “Is it I?”
Let us ask ourselves, do I betray my Savior, Jesus, in any way? If so let us ask His forgiveness had love Him as He loved us.
Matthew 26:25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
(painting by Carl Bloch, late 19th century, Judas Iscariot (right), retiring from the Last Supper)
It is so easy to get distracted by things that are beyond our control. If our attention is on the news, we can become fearful.
Everywhere we look there is something that can cause us to take our eyes off Jesus and live in fear and uncertainty, but we have promises in God’s Word that He is with us, He has everything in control and He is with us through any situation.
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Isaiah 41:10
Jesus has a busy day after His triumphant entry into Jerusalem. He went into the temple and cast out the money changers and merchants, who had turned the place of worship into a marketplace.
Then He was walking with His disciples and saw a fig tree with no figs. He then made the fig tree wither so it never again would bear fruit.
Do we ever do anything in our lives to cause Jesus to be displeased with us? Christian, think about it. Jesus loves us and our salvation is secure if we have accepted Him as our Savior, however, we can do things in our lives that may cause Jesus displeasure. Today, let us confess our sins. He is faithful and just to forgive our sin and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
Si confesamos nuestros pecados, él es fiel y justo para perdonar nuestros pecados, y limpiarnos de toda maldad. 1 Juan 1:9
Today is what we call Palm Sunday. It is the day that the Bible tells us Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a small donkey.
People shouted and laid palm branches in His path. They shouted and honored Him. Hosanna!
Then a few days later the same crowd shouted, Crucially Him!
What do we do with Jesus? Are we worshiping Him or do we turn our backs on Him and in our heart are like that crowd.
On this Palm Sunday, if you have not made Jesus you Lord and King, ask Him to forgive your sin and accept Him as your Savior.
Jeremías 17:7&8
7 Bendito el varón que se fía en Jehová, y cuya confianza es Jehová.
Porque él será como el árbol plantado junto á las aguas, que junto á la corriente echará sus raices, y no verá cuando viniere el calor, sino que su hoja estará verde; y en el año de sequía no se fatigará, ni dejará de hacer
Once a month some very special ladies meet to help get the Life Saver News, the newsletter for SOS Events Ministry.
They work for about 2 hours and then have a meal and fellowship. This month there were 18 ladies. The most that have gathered since Covid.
It was so great to have a wonderful time when they could all get together again. Thank you ladies for your faithfulness.
For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building. 1 Corinthians 3:9
1 Corintios 3:9 – Porque nosotros, coadjutores somos de Dios; y vosotros labranza de Dios sois, edificio de Dios sois.
Nineteen salvations at the Plant City Flea Market on Wednesday!
Praise the Lord for all the decisions and the faithful volunteers. God has blessed each week as these volunteers go faithfully to the Flea Market.
In Florida the weather is getting hotter and it gets more difficult to set up and work in extreme heat. Please pray for all the volunteers at events that will be taking place this spring and summer.
1 Corinthians 4:2 – Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
Sometimes we let things in our past keep us from moving forward.
The sins, the tragedy or poor relationships keep reoccurring in our mind and we feel depressed or unable to do what we know we should to get on with our life today.
God does not want us to dwell in the past. He has forgiven all our past sin, He wants to comfort our broken heart and heal relationships that have been ruined by pride or unforgiveness..
If anything is keeping you from a joyful, productive life give all of the past to Jesus and move on.
Philippians 3:13-14
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Filipenses 3:13-14
13 Hermanos, yo mismo no pretendo haberlo ya alcanzado; pero una cosa hago: olvidando ciertamente lo que queda atrás, y extendiéndome a lo que está delante, 14 prosigo a la meta, al premio del supremo llamamiento de Dios en Cristo Jesús.
