Agony And Ectasy

“Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples…tarry ye here, and watch with Me.” Matthew 26:36,38

Another musing on My Utmost.

If Jesus can do it, I can do it.  That sounds, almost, like blasphemy.  The truth is, it is true.  He came fully as man so that I could look at His example and have encouragement that His victory can be my victory.  If He was God only and not man, than I could never hope to overcome the temptations of the world.  Paul said he did what he did not want to do and couldn’t do what he wanted.  He put it this way, “O wretched man that I am!  Who will deliver me from this body of death?”  Then he says; “I thank God-through Jesus Christ…”  Amen to that!
