Grace for your spirit
Then He came to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hand of sinners. Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand. Matthew 26:45-46
Why were Jesus' closest apostles asleep that night instead of standing watch? Jesus was about to be betrayed. The Garden of Gethsemane would be filled with a mob in minutes, and Jesus was praying. They were sleeping because they were completely unaware of the danger that was just around the corner. Soon Jesus would be arrested and they would be scattered into the bushes. Would it be a good time to be alert and ready for action? The same could be asked of us. With the great commission before us, why are most of us asleep at the switch? The name of Jesus is being trampled under by a sin sick world. As disciples, we have the power to make a difference. Let's be alert and ready for action each day. Our hour is at hand this time.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
