Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Maybe you and I have been there where Jesus was. Abandoned by others at the very time we craved connection. Misunderstood in terms of wanting to be with others and not "just left alone" to get over it by ourselves. Maybe we've entered our own age of loneliness. Maybe we've felt as if we, too, were sweating blood while others were off taking it easy. Maybe we've had our own Gethsemane moments. And, then again, maybe we've been where Peter, James and John were. Tired. Sleepy. Oblivious to the cries of another person who we've interpreted as being "alone" instead of "lonely." Maybe you and I have also been the Church asleep at the switch during someone else's worst ever time of fear, loneliness, temptation. If so, there is hope. There is redemption available for our Gethsemanes in this world. Redemption for us when we are living in our own age of loneliness. And redemption from us when we are called to wake up and change our own response to others during their times of fear, loneliness, and temptation.""Redeeming Gethsemane relates real life experiences to scripture to overcome loneliness and challenges us to wake up and live out the Gospel. Dan Held skillfully weaves these experiences to make the scripture come alive in new ways. A great study book!" -- Donald L. Hayashi, past Associate General Secretary, General Council on Ministries of the United Methodist Church "Dan Held offers an antidote to loneliness: hope. Using Gethsemane, the stories of Scripture, and the words of Jesus, Held paints a portrait of renewal desperately needed today. As a bonus, discussion questions make the book ideal for group study. Gethsemane gives hope!" -- Thomas Jay Oord, author of The Uncontrolling Love of God and numerous other books

This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This past April 14, 2016, Nita Raye and I celebrated our fiftieth wedding anniversary surrounded by our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, plus many good friends. The joy was overwhelming. The reflection on all those memories brought tears of rejoicing to our eyes, and we thanked and praised God for His many blessings. Jesus was and is God, but for a time and a purpose, he put on the cloak of humanity and wept like we do for the suffering of others and finally for his own impending trail and anguish. Jesus, as God, knew what was coming and had prepared himself for it from the foundation of the world. He was ready to rescue all humanity from Satan's lair. Jesus, the human son of man, had to overcome his humanity in his garden of Gethsemane before He could accomplish His godly task on Earth. All of us have events in our lives that spiritually we have prepared for, yet when the trial presents itself, we try to avoid it. Jesus prayed three times at an hour each time, to have this horrific event taken from Him instead of having to go through it. Yet in the end He accepts it for you and me and for the joy beyond. Today, we rejoice in God for his trustworthiness with family, friends, and our two little helpers, Mr. Cooper and Miss Molly. Blessings to all

Download or read book Gethsemane written by Jimmy Foster and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a place that has been shrouded in mystery. It is a place where faith is tested and the heart is crushed. It is the place where God meets with you and begins the healing process. Gethsemane has become such a part of the passion narrative that few realize exactly what transpired there. Jimmy Foster, in his book Gethsemane, walks you into the garden on that night. There we see the suffering of the Son of God. We see things that would distract him from fulfilling his plan. We hear the resolution in his prayer. We realize that someone has walked the path of suffering before us. It was at that place where one of the most monumental events in history took place. Gethsemane-where the Son of God faced off with the dark forces of evil. Gethsemane-where the fate of the world hung in the balance. Gethsemane-where the heart is crushed.

This book was released on 2011-03-27 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gethsemamnesia follows Jesus through his weakest mortal moments in the Garden of Gethsemane and at Golgotha and explores the valuable, uplifting and empowering lessons we can learn from the Condescended Christ. If Jesus could have moments of mortal weakness and yet be sinless, then it is no sin for us, his fellow mortals, to have those moments also. If Jesus begged for exemption from suffering and asked "why" it is okay for us to do likewise. Gethsemamnesia should be required reading for all those who suffer and struggle, which is all of us.

Download or read book Echoes from Gethsemane Lest we forget Vol 2 written by Olubusayo Aina and published by Olubusayo Aina. This book was released on with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” (Hebrews 9:27) Death; An unfortunate reality that awaits all men. Jesus’ sacrifice solved the eternal death problem; the physical appointment with death – caused by Adam, nonetheless, still remains sacrosanct. More intimidating also, is the mystery behind the timing, when this menace decides to pay his visit; as the hour of death, is unknown to most men. Some, however, who by reason of their misdeeds, have been placed on death row. These ones, are certain of when their ‘ends’ would be. Perhaps, the luxury of not knowing the scheduled time for death, affords many the ease and comfort to embrace this life, without care and worry. To those on death row, this is not the case. The sheer horror of knowing one’s ‘death date’, petrifies. It also transfixes and stupefies – mildly put. The Gethsemane episode of the Christ, could best be explained by the death row experience. Because of His omniscient nature, the Son of God knew what was soon to happen. He fully understood the cruelty and savagery, that He was about to face. Knowing His death date, was bad enough. Worse, were the coming betrayals, isolation and immense torture. His foreknowledge of these events, only offered Him more misery. Grief, pain and unbearable agony. In some thirty-three years the Christ had spent on Earth, He was never this vulnerable. The Son of God, was really at His wits end! That day – and in that place, the whole plan for redemption could have been aborted. An action, that would have doomed our fates forever. But what sustained the Son of God on His quest? What kept Him resolute, even as His odyssey hung by a thread? Let’s take a walk through that garden, at Gethsemane. Listen to the echoes… ‘even as we appreciate our Lord’s perseverance, patience and love, in His venture to save our souls. Lest we forget!

Download or read book Last Hours of Jesus written by Fr. Ralph Gorman and published by Sophia Institute Press. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here for the ordinary reader is an unforgettable moment-by-moment account that brings to vivid life the powerful events that transpired between Jesus’ Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane and His death on the Cross at Golgotha. Told accurately and in a manner in¬teresting and intelligible, it actually provides a fuller treatment of the Passion than is found in the Gospels. You see, those Gospels were written for first century readers already familiar with many of the persons, places, parties, and politics that colored events in those long-past days. Not so modern readers, twenty centuries later! Which is why Fr. Ralph Gorman has here crafted for us a single detailed narrative out of the four Gospels, weaving into his narrative relevant Old Testament passages and prophecies, and facts from Jewish and Roman history, laws, beliefs, traditions, and practices, plus helpful first century military, political, geographical, and archaeological information. Faithful to the Gospels while drawing on the best commentaries on them in English, Latin, French, German, and Italian, these rich pages provide you a refreshing reading of the Gospels supplemented by reliable archaeological, historical, and theological information about the period, places, and persons in¬volved. Plus, you have the benefit of Fr. Gorman’s keen depictions of the Gospel places based on his three years’ residence there. You can read this book straight through, or one chapter a day as spiritual reading before Mass or during Lent. Either way, you’ll come to understand better the malice of the crowds, the dismay and confusion of Christ’s friends, and the speed with which the deadly events unfolded. Most of all, you’ll come to grasp anew the depths of Christ’s love for you, awakening in you greater devotion to Him than ever before. How about it? Wouldn’t it be good for you, by reading and meditating on the contents of this book, to spend with Jesus His last hours? From these moving pages, you’ll come to learn scores of new – and sometimes surprising – things, including: The exact moment that Satan entered Judas: can you name it?The most terrible words Jesus spoke during his life on earth: do you know them? (Pray they will never be said about you.)The real meaning of the agony in the garden (Hint: it was more than suffering)How Jesus failed to fulfill popular hopes about the MessiahThe dangerous political currents in Palestine that fueled the fatal events of holy week: Fr. Ralph Gorman explains them allThat naked man who fled before Jesus and the soldiers after Jesus’s arrest. Was it really St. Mark, as some say?Annas, Caiaphas, Herod the Great, Herod Antipas, Pilate, the High Priests, the Sanhedrin, the Sadducees, the Scribes, and the Pharisees: learn which of these many overlapping (and often conflicting) authorities and groups ruled what . . . did what . . . and whyWhy the groups that hated Jesus did not just kill him secretlyThe many — and often shifting — charges made against JesusWhy Jesus refused to answer many of His accusersThe moment that, under oath, Jesus declared himself to be God: do you know when that was?Pontius Pilate before and after Christ’s passion: where he came from and what happened to him afterwards“He burst asunder and all his bowels gushed out”: St. Luke’s little-known description of the death of JudasThe incestuous marriage that led to the death of John the BaptistPontius Pilate: why he admired — but condemned — JesusWhat Barabbas really did, and why that led the crowd to demand Pilate release him instead of JesusWhy, so quickly, Palm Sunday’s “Hosannas” led to Good Friday’s “Crucify him!"Who Christ blamed for his plight, and to what extentThe likely location of the crucifixion, and that spot in particular was chosenThe statue of Venus erected over Golgotha and of Jupiter over the Holy Sepulcher: who did it and how it helped later generations of ChristiansHow Roman methods deliberately increased the shame and pain of crucifixionHow Christ great sufferings on the cross confirmed — rather than falsified — the truth of his divinityWhy, after His death, the Sanhedrin still feared JesusAnd much more to enrich your knowledge, understanding, and love of Jesus!
