Follow Jesus.


Matthew chapter 26 verse 2.
"As you know, the Passover celebration begins in two days and I shall be betrayed and crucified."

I can only imagine what stress Jesus must have felt knowing how His life was going to end. We know that our living bodies don't last forever. We may not know how or when our life will end but we do know it will happen someday.
The bible tells us that Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus's ministry was to tell everyone, that God's plan for all people is, that they can let go of their roller coaster lives and trust in Him to give the direction and peace they need.
God's past has always been to love and care for people, it is just that people would rather follow after their own inclinations of how life should be led. That way of thinking has caused nothing but heartache and mistrust. It leaves people with too many questions as to why some things are happy and others are sad.
God does not say, if we come follow Jesus that we will be free from burdens, but He says come share your burdens with me and I will make your worries light. You will have a restful life, refreshed and strong, filled with thanksgiving and love for God's blessings. He will guide you with right living, encouraging you to look the other way from evil and temptations. He will give you the right words to speak that bring glory and honor to Him. You will be so filled with joy that you will be content with your new life and unable to contain your enthusiasm.
What was Jesus feeling when He went through His last days? I would imagine He was sad for those who did not know God and would rather follow after their own ways of how life should be led. I don't think Jesus would have been afraid to die for He knew that He was fulfilling His Fathers plan's. To those who believe in Jesus and follow His teachings, we see His death as the beginning of life. It is sad the pain and anguish that He went through, but He gave His life freely so that we could have a life with God.
The same love and offer from years ago is still available today and forever to anyone who come to Jesus and get to know God. Set yourself free and lighten your worries. Come to know Jesus and you will find rest in your Fathers waiting arms.
Thank-you Father for Jesus. Thank-you Jesus for all you gave, for our salvation. 😊

Matthew chapter 26 verse 41.
Keep alert and pray. Otherwise temptation will overpower you. For the spirit indeed is willing, but how weak the body is."

John chapter 14 verse 7.
Jesus replied, "If you had known who I am, then you would have known who my Father is. From now on you know Him---and have seen Him."

Romans chapter 6 verse 23.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
