The Night Before The Cross

THE NIGHT BEFORE THE CROSS

I knew a while ago that this was going to happen, I knew that I am going to the court yard, some one will spit in my face, I will be b struck with fists , mocked, I knew it.

The night before the cross, my disciples told me that they are not goint to Leave me, even if they have to die with me ,all of them said so.

But I knew that was not going to happen, one of them is going to deny that he knows me 3 times, and the rest are going to leave me,

And yet I accepted it, I didn’t offend.

So when you give me a promise, when you tell me that you are not going to do something , you are going to leave this or that thing, when you honestly say so but then  your promise falls, know that I am not going to leave you, and I knew from the start that you are  going to break it, but I accepted it, I didn’t offend, my love to you didn’t stop.

The night before the cross I took 3 of my disciples, because I was sad and depressed I was sad to death, I wanted them to stay late with me, but they fell asleep, they couldn’t stay up for even an hour, in this deep need I had,

Know that when you need someone to stay up with you, in the time of your sadness or depression, call for me, I will come and stay up with you, I once was in your shoes, and I know how it feels, I will not leave you, I will stay up with you.

I am for the broken hearted,

I am for the weary

and I am for the sinners.

 

I knew that I t was coming, the betrayal, the escape of my disciples, and I asked My Father to pass this cup, but his will is what I desire , this cup should pass through me drinking it, so let it be My Father’s will

I knew my son that I am going to bleed, I knew that I am going to be lift up so I draw all the people to me, lifted up on the cross for you son.

32And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” 33He said thisto show by what kind of death he was going to die.” (john 12:32-33)

Even my trial was not fair, they had nothing on me, “for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me” (john 14:30)

Remember all I was thinking of were you, and I did it because I love you, not because anything else, and during all of this I wasn’t thinking  in my heart that I am doing something I have to do or because it was only my role ,No, You were in my heart… You rising with me, having your salvation ,  You free of sin , no longer a slave but a son , no longer living in darkness but seeing the light, no longer living in the land of the shadow of death ,but You finding Love  you finding your rest… In Me.. 

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. (john 3 :16)

 

  28″Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (matthew 11 :28 – 30)

 

.the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death  a light has dawned ( matthew 4:16)

 

No Greater Joy

From the book God Calling (www.twolisteners.org )

March 17  –  “No Greater Joy”                            

Withdraw into the calm of communion with Me. Rest – rest, rest in that calm and Peace. Life knows no greater joy than you will find in converse and companionship with Me.

You are Mine. When the soul finds its home of rest in Me, then it is, that its real Life begins. Not in years, as man counts it, do we measure in My Kingdom.

We count only from his second birth, that new birth of which I spoke to Nicodemus when I said, “Ye must be born again.” We know no life but Eternal Life and when a man enters into that, then he lives.

And this is Life Eternal, to know God, My Father and Me, the Son sent by Him. So immature, so childish, so empty is all so-called living before that. I shower Love on you. Pass Love on.

Do not fear. To fear is as foolish as if a small child with a small coin, but a rich father, fretted about how rent and rates should be paid, and what he or she would do about it. Is this work Mine or not? You need to trust Me for everything.

“There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 
For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased 
from his own works, as God did from his.” – Hebrews 4:9,10
