June 3--Jesus Betrayed and Denied
TOhn IS: 1,fS. n..>
We now come to one of the most sor'
(, rowful places in the bible. Up to the
time of the last supper with His dis
. ciples, Jesus had ever been the maste:
over every situation in which He had
been placed He resisted temptation
projected Himself from mob Violence
, Overcame by His words all the oppo
sition put forth by those engaging Him
in debate. Now there is change for
the barriers of His protection are tax
en- down. The last sad wall my God :;
why hast thou forsaken me- gives us
some glimpse of the terror which must
have come over Jesus on the withdraw
al of the favor and support OF the
Father. .,..
b, Our lesson today brings to mind the
agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. 1t
viii be remembered that after the
talks recorded in the fourteenth to six
tetnth of John, Jesus went out to this
Garden. His soul was exceedingly
troubles as He knew what would hap
Dan before morning. His disciples
were there with Him. With, Peter.
James and John He went apart. He
made request to them to "Watch." and
then He went further forward. Now
came that awful agony, the sweat as
drOps of blood; that remarkable pray
ar. Take away this cup from Me-:
nevertheless not what l will; bit what
thou Wilt" the return three times to
the three and ever finding them asleep.
Jesus had to tread the wine press
alone" There was not even the SYM
patty of His loved ones to make less
bitter the cup which was being press
ed to His lips.
Why this agony i'm the garden we
cainot tell. In His life on earth there
is Such a mixing up OF the human and
the divine that ordinary mortals can
not comprehend as to it. If Jesus knew
from the foundations of the world that
He was to suffer at this time. and of
the Joy to the future generations
which would come from it, ore is at
q loss to understand why He now
shrank from the ordeal and talked as
II there might be such Il thing as the
suffering and death OF the cross being
taken away. There must have been
the capacity for suffering such as you
and l have. and it was this which
caused the agony of the garden that
night.
There must have come a strength
ening after the prayers in the garden,
for from that time onward there was
no indication of turning back but a
fixed determination of undergoing ev-
erything that the scripture might be
fulfilled and the redemption of the
race take place as planned. 1t was
about this time when Peter so boldly
announced that he would never desert
Jesus even if others did and was told
