I give up!

I think I am in a Line of Thought that is quite “over my head!” I mean the SOUL SUFFERINGS of Jesus on the Cross.

Yet the Subject interests me immensely!

And Jesus invited such Inquiry, I believe.

Specifically, in the Garden of Gethsemane … “Then saith He unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with Me.” Matthew 26:38

See Jesus’ “Invitation?”

To Peter and James and John!

My Soul is in Agony! I must bear This Load (our Sin Debt) Alone!

But I “ask you,” perhaps even “need you” to WATCH WITH ME!

That’s exactly what I have been trying to do (with you) these past few Lessons, Devotionals!

WATCH WITH JESUS … HIS SOUL SUFFERINGS ON THE CROSS!

I have learned things, and I trust you have as well.

Perhaps this is the place (and time) to pray that precious Petition the Psalmist taught us long ago. It’s always appropriate when we are in Scripture that’s “over our heads!”

Dear Lord … “Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.” Psalm 119:18

An old hymn says it well … “More About Jesus I Would Know.”

“More about Jesus would I know, More of His grace to others show; More of His saving fulness see, More of His love who died for me.”

But this I do know and constantly stand in awe … WHAT A SAVIOUR!
