"WATCH AND PRAY"

Jesus was praying in the garden of Gethsemane a little before He was
arrested, judge and crucified. He was praying with such sadness and
anguish that He was sweating drops of blood.
He asked to three of his apostles to be with Him, but they were so tired
that fell to sleep.
Jesus told them: C’mon! Watch and pray that ye enter not; into temptation.
THE SPIRIT IS WILLING BUT THE FLESH IS WEAK. Mathew 26- 41.
Commentary:
One day I stopped to some churches just to see what was happening at the
time of the sermons and this is what I found:
Most of the people, was stumbling on their seats, some yawning, others,
with their eyes fixed to the ceiling a thousand miles away from there.
Some of them, unable to stay awake, they were sound at sleep not knowing
what the sermon was about
Jesus was reproaching his apostles: How come you could not remained
awake just for an hour?
Tell me: Why in the world we woke up early, showered and put on our
best clothing to go to church to sleep, instead of being with our eyes and
ears open to listen and understand the Word of God?
Wouldn’t be better to stay in bed and when we wake up say a prayer with
the certainty of being dedicated to the Lord?
God sent his only Son to save the whole world, not just a few people from
some churches that think they are the “called” or the chosen ones!
All the world have the same opportunity of salvation!
Salvation is for all! For all who wish to be saved, of course!
However:
They are so many people that feeling a true love for God, they have not
felt in them the desire to read the Bible to know deeper our Lord!!
THE WORD OF GOD IS CHRIST!
And listening to the word of God with faith, we could be able to own
this Great Salvation thanks to Jesus Christ!
We walked away from God because of our sins! Can we change?
THE SPIRIT IS WILLING BUT THE FLESH IS WEAK!
How could we return to God?
Here is the secret:
WATCH AND PRAY THAT YE ENTER NOT INTO TEMTATION!
To accept Jesus Christ is: TO OPEN OUR HEARTS! AND THEN…
TO INVITE HIM TO ENTER!

PRAISE THE LORD!
