Matthew 26:37–38
37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38 Then he said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me."
What an amazing set of sermons yesterday delivered by head pastor Jon Davis at Summit Church. He Spoke on the power of God's touch and how Jesus knows our pain because He carried it for us! The above verses really touched my soul and gave me a greater appreciation and understanding of the what Jesus went through for us on the cross!
In the above verses, we see Jesus open up His heart to His disciples stating "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death." What a powerful statement coming from our Almighty God! Why was Jesus so overwhelmed with sorrow? Because He had the weight of the world, the sin of the world, the hurt of the world on His shoulders! He carried all of that and went through everything that He went through on the cross...for us! He understands our pains! He understands our sorrows! He has been there, and through His death on the cross and His resurrection, He demolished any hold our hurts, wrongdoings, and sorrows could ever have on us.
We have to stop falling for satan's lies. The devil tells us that we are all alone, that nobody knows what we are dealing with, and that we have strayed too far for God to ever love/forgive us. Those are all lies! God wants to forgive us of our pasts! He wants to join in an amazing relationship with each and every one of us! Let's stop making excuses and accept God's amazing gift! .
