‘Prayer Is Always Important.’
Mark 14:32-36.
a) Mark 14:32. Jesus went
with His Disciples to a place called Gethsemane and He told them to sit there
and wait whilst He went to Pray.
b) Mark 14:33. Jesus was sad
and troubled and He took along with Him Peter, James and John.
c) Mark 14:34. Jesus gave
the three Apostles:-
1- His Soul was swallowed up in sorrow.
2- He was sorrowful enough to die.
3- They were to remain at the place.
4- They were to stay awake. (Meaning watch and Pray)
d) Mark 14:35. Jesus
Himself:-
1- Went on a little farther.
2- Fell to the ground.
3- Prayed about the possibility of the suffering of the Cross to be
passed from Him.
e) Mark 14:36. Jesus
Prayed:-
1- Abba Father.
2- All things are possible for You.
3- Take this cup away from Me.
4- Nevertheless, not what I Will but what You Will.
(Jesus gave us this powerful example that Prayer Is Always
Important, especially when we know that we are to face a time, or times, of
suffering)

‘Because God Loves Us And Has Chosen Us.’
Colossians 3:12.
a) God Loves us.
b) God has Chosen us as His
Own special people.
c) Therefore we should be:-
1- Gentle.
2- Kind.
3- Humble.
4- Meek.
5- Patient.
(This Second one Teaches me my ‘should be’ responses
Because God Loves Me And Has Chosen Me)

Chris.
Because God Loves us and has Chosen us our lives as True
Believers should take on many positive facets that it is impossible for people
in this World to have. The Bible tells us to be Gentle. The Bible tells us to
be kind. The Bible tells us to be Humble. The Bible tells us to be Meek. The
Bible tells us to be Patient. I am challenged by this but I want to try.
