Why do you sleep?

"And He said to them, Why do you sleep? Get up and pray that you may not enter [at all] into temptation." (Luke 22:46 AMP). We cannot afford to be caught sleeping, for in doing so we might just miss the greatest blessing of our lives. In this scripture, Jesus knew what was about to take place, and He knew it would take God's Will and strength , not His own, to see it done. However, His disciples were filled with grief and confused on the matters that were spoken to them by Jesus. So, they fell asleep while Jesus prayed in agony.  Such is the church today; in many parts of the world they're asleep. Yet, we have a Mediator and One High Priest, who sits on the right hand of the Majestic God in heaven making intercession for you and I. Jesus is still at work making petition and intervening for us. He sure is worthy of our praise. Look at all the evil around us, and how the world is filled with the temptation that so easily seeks the flesh. It's time to pray, not that our will be done but God's Will in us and here on earth. Pray that none be led into temptation and found asleep spiritually among us. God Bless you all.
