40 days with Mark and Jesus (34)

Sat 15 Mar: Mark 14:32-42

The weakness of the disciples is contrasted with the troubled humility of the Lord Jesus. There is no other way chosen by God by which men and women may be forgiven, it is to this work of achieving our forgiveness that the Lord Jesus submits himself in the garden.

Prayer: Dearest Lord Jesus, we cannot look upon your prayers in the garden with cold and untroubled hearts, it was the burden of our sin that caused your distress. Make us ever thankful to you for your wonderful salvation undertaken for us.
