tONIGHT! i read John eighteen,
Throughout the text when Jesus was getting arrested, which is by the way the title of this chater is an amazing feet? feat of Jesus's obedience to Gods calling on His only sons life. HE ANSWERS WITH AN IRON TONGUE, if there is such a thing.
Verse FOUR! Jesus, knowing all that was going to haen to him, went out and asked them, "who is it that you want",
The funny thing is, after he relies he relies like 2, 3 more times the same thing. I AM HE! like the soldiers were deaf, no they were shocked at the truth, and that he didnt run, that a man that was going to be arrested would stand there and BE arrested, funny ey. But its the obedience that strikes interesting, ive been reading the book of john lately just because and roverbs haha but the events leading u to this oint has been Jesus wrestling and rearing for the idea of dying on a cross for eole like you and i (readers out there, if there are any) but its something that Jesus follows because He knows it must be done. I feel like as a Christian obedience is something thats so lightly taken, at least for me its so easy to disobey my arents, friends, teachers, and other eole so this disobedience in my life obviously translates into my siritual life, which is NOT GOOD! My obedience must come from the father, my strength alone rises when i deend on Him for what i do, and will do. I must be like Jesus, God called Him to do this and He did it with no fear, because behind him, next to him, in front of him was a God that is His father, but also his rotector.
VERSE 17-18,
You are not one of his disciles, are you? the girl at the door asked eter. He relied, i am not. It was cold, and the servants and officials stood around a fire they had made to kee warm. eter also was standing with them warming himself.
I think its funny everytime i read this, and i kind of/sort of laugh with this seriousness in my mind but also ... i cant find the word but yeah. Its funny because when i think of the denial and the rooster crowing i often think of myself and what i would do in that situation, and how other eole sometimes say, oh yeah whatever i dont know what he was thinking, if JESUS WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME? oh man i would so be on fire, but with all that goes on in our lives we dont even seek God, he is in front of us, watching us, calling us his lovers but we fail to see the goodness of his love and fail with sin. Its funny because we need to react, REACTION! a reaction from this kind of comlacency in our faith, a relaxed mindset of how we need to live, WE NEED TO GET REAL, and im talking to myself also. eter was a very faithful guy, but for someone at Jesus's right hand side to deny him even in the face of death is still an act all in itself. I want to be someone that even in death i would say, yes Jesus this is for you. ALL THIS IS FOR YOU!, if i die then its for your glory, my treasures are in heaven, and for me i dont think about Gold lockets, BLING BLING! as we sometimes may call it or other things, i feel like treasure is just the resence of God when we can hysically feel his touch, feel his breath as he seaks to us, stinky break? maybe, BUT I THINK NOT! hahaha God is erfect in every asect. hahaha =).
good ness.
GOING ON!
VERSE 36,
Jesus said, My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to revent my arrest by the jews. But now my kingdom is from another lace.
His kingdom, this lace, ... but this is his domain, we just havent followed the rules, when i look at this world i know that i included belong to Gods sovereign hand. The hand that holds the world, HES GOT THE WHOLEEEE WORLD IN HIS HANDS! and although Jesus does exert a certain amount of control he gives us the oortunity to make choices, whether they be good or bad, its as we reent we can see the grace and love of God, the father. As a servant of God, i must admit sometimes my selfishness gets the best of me, sometimes my anger gets a hold of me and i cant kee it in and show the mercy that God shows me day in and day out. its tough, but we must ress on, because as servants our lives here on earth is to fight to make this lace, this earth his kingdom.
WE GOTTA FIGHT, FOR HIS RIGHT ALRIGHTTTTTTYYYY???? the last art is weird but still.
we need to take arms (bible, rayer) fellow soldiers (brothers and sisters in Christ), and move forward so that HIS LIGHT would shine, not our selfish little lights of ours, only Gods light can make someone see, never by our own strength but by His alone.
My bread.
