The Agony of Christ
Summary: One evening Jesus was eating with twelve of his disciples. While they were eating he told them that one of them would betray him. Not one disciple would believe him. Jesus told Peter that one day he would deny him. Jesus said" before the rooster crows twice you yourself will disown me three times. Peter denied and said that even if he had to die he would never disown him. Jesus and his disciples went to a place called Gethsemane. He told them to sit here and keep watch while he prayed. Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. He awakened them and went away once more, to pray. When he came back, they were asleep again. He returned the third time and found them sleeping again. He said to them that his betrayer is coming. Just when Jesus was speaking, Judas one of the twelve, appeared with a crowd of soldiers. They all condemned him to death. They began to hit him with their fists and began to spit at them. While peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servants looked closely at him. She noticed him as one of Jesus' disciples. Peter denied it three times.

    Liberty University Bibl 323 John Module 7 Notes

    “When He had finished praying, Jesus left with His disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was an olive grove, and He and His disciples went into it. Now Judas, who betrayed Him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with His disciples. So Judas came to the grove, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons. Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to Him, went out and asked them, ‘Who is it you want?’ ‘Jesus of Nazareth,’ they replied. ‘I am He,’ Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) When Jesus said, ‘I am He,’ they drew back and fell to the ground. Again He asked them, ‘Who is it you want?’ And they said, ‘Jesus of Nazareth.’ ‘I told you that I am he,’ Jesus answered. ‘If you are looking for me, then let these men go.’ This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: ‘I have not lost one of those you gave me.’ Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, ‘Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?’ Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound Him and brought Him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high…

    Monologue Of A Christian Suffering

    Gary, I enjoyed thoroughly reading your insightful monologue. You stated, "A lack a Christian perceives should be filled with nothing besides God. When a person, Christian in particular, seeks God will all their heart, soul, and mind, they will find God to be everything their soul desires. Before one looks elsewhere, they should remember the story of Eve in the garden and her conversation with the serpent, and how that turned out. " I utterly concur with your ideology.…

    Suffering in the Bible

    Throughout all of history, suffering has been the stumbling block of humanity. Different peoples and cultures have tried to define the act of suffering but it remains a problem for philosophers and a harsh test of faith. It is not natural to see any profit in suffering. Mankind staggers over it, considering it a tragedy, an interruption to progress, and ultimately fate to be avoided. According to the Bible, it is the will of God that believers should suffer. This, however, is not a popular teaching. We hate suffering and try to avoid it. The Bible says that all who live godly lives in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution (2 Timothy 3). There, however, is much confusion on the definition of suffering. For example, suffering is not a sign of holiness nor a way of subduing the physical body. When possible, suffering and persecution is actually to be avoided. In the Bible, Jesus avoided suffering unless it meant disobeying his Father’s will. God uses trials to get our attention and to accomplish His will in our life in a way that would never have occurred without the trial. Going through these trials forces us to trust in God in rather than ourselves and our resources.…

    Samuel by Grace Paley

    A theme is the generalization about the meaning of the story. Samuel death show’s that People cannot be replaced. Samuel in the end may have of just been a little boy having fun with friends. Through his death we see his mom suffering the most pain. The loss of a child is the hardest thing to move on from. “Oh, oh she cried hopelessly.

The male onlooker who relived his boyhood through watching the group of boys jiggle on the swaying platform knew the risk they were taking. “They don’t like them to jiggle or to jump but they don’t want to interfere.” When is it the right time to interfere or is just ok to say nothing at all. If they knew the outcome would they of continued to ignore the boys actions or would he stepped in told them to stop and sit down. The cord puller who was just “citizenly” thinks he helped the situation. “He stood up straight and looked at the boys for a couple of seconds. Then he walked to the end…
