“Could You Not Keep Watch…?”

“Could You Not Keep Watch…?”

Blessings folk!

Jesus cried out asking Father to remove the cup from Him…

Mar 14:36
And He was saying, “Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me;
yet not what I will, but what You will.”

Yet, Jesus wanted Father’s will, not His own.

Father did not respond Immediately.
How do I know?

Watch what Jesus did…

Mar 14:37-39
And He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep?
Could you not keep watch for one hour?

“Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation;
the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Again He went away and prayed, saying the same words.

Jesus arose from praying.
He went and found the disciples.
He found them asleep.
Remember, He had told them to pray while He prayed.

I’m sure they began to pray…yet now, they slept.
Sounds like us today. Most Believers are “spiritually sleep walking” their way through life.

Jesus confronted them through Simon (Peter).
Are you asleep?
Could you not keep watch (pray) for one hour?

He told them…
Keep watching
Keep praying.
Do so to keep from falling into temptation.
Know the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Jesus then went away to pray…saying the same words.

The “same words”?

He continued to petition Father.
He waited…
