Matt 26:37-39 And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.”

Here is Jesus, the greatest Super Hero known to man to man, yet He is demonstrating vulnerability with His closest disciples. The ones seeking Him for the “Words of Life.” But Jesus was willing to show His humanity.

Sometimes, I’m seemingly great at this. I’m good at this with my friends, I can share things that are sometimes shocking.

I suck at this with my family, I want to share the areas of hurt, pain, struggle even fear. But I struggle with doing it. What will they think of me? How can they trust me to take care of them, will they still look at me the same? Here is the crazy part, they would look at me differently in love. Differently, because now they know me a little better, they know that I trust them, and they know how to pray for me. So why is it such a challenge???

Jesus Knew His Purpose.

Jesus Knew His Worth

Jesus Knew His Father’s Love

Jesus Knew His Why

Purpose: He knew that He was sent to Glorify God; to Love God’s People; and demonstrate how to follow God’s plan.

Worth: He knew His life would save everyone else. So therefore He served us all. Our worth is seen in how much we give….

Love: God’s love is experienced in His favor; His protection; His wisdom; His provision; and His direction. When we know we’re loved; we know what we have access to.

Why: Jesus’s why was Obedience; Service; Sacrifice. Obedience to God’s redemption plan. Service to those in need; Service to those He loved. Sacrifice of Resources; Sacrifice of Reputation , Sacrifice of Desires.

Jesus was at His lowest point and was capable of sharing with his friends. Even Jesus realized that He needed others. Even He didn’t do it alone. He sought help. Will we learn to do the same?? Will I learn?? I truly hope so
