Here's the verse I looked at...the conversation {or prayer} that Jesus had with His Father in the Garden of Gethsemane. In the verse we're going to look at...Mark 14:36... ...His soul … Continue reading Getting Up Close and Personal

The Two Voices
Listen up, Self! Today, there will be two voices to listen to. There will be the quiet Voice of Truth whispering to my soul…and there will be the screaming lies of the Master Deceiver. The Deceiver is crafty and will know just what to say to get me down…to get me to focus on myself instead of Jesus. But Truth will be there, quietly whispering in my soul.

Taking Us and the Garden Back
I always struggle with calling today Good Friday. When we get to this day, my heart hurts when I think of what Jesus endured on this day so long ago. It doesn't feel good. My 8 year old even asked me that about a week ago, why it was called "Good" when it was the day Jesus died, and I needed to hear the answer again for myself. It's Good because of what Jesus did for us. It's Good because this is the day He showed us just how much He loves us by giving His life for us in the most painful and shameful way. "He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to death--even death on a cross!" (Philippians 2:8)
