Sweat was like drops of blood

[Jefell]

We should yearn to be worthy of His blood. We should strive to be what we are called to be. The courage is in His blood.

Our dearest LORD suffered in anguish for our sins even before He was arrested. Our Savior knew every detail of what was going to happen.

Lk 22:41-44 He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. :o


Thank you Christ YSHWH, you sweat blood in anguish.. knowing the burden of my sin.. A pain I will never know. A sacrifice I can only drop to my knees and praise you for Thank you my LORD.


With Love,
- Jefell

BLOOD – refers to the seat of life (Strong’s)
BLOOD for the Israelites was perceived as both a needed bodily fluid & the location of life itself. "For the life of the flesh is in the BLOOD; & I have given it to you for making ATONEMENT for your lives on the ALTAR..."
( Lev. 17:11 ). BLOOD was not to be consumed; spilling it (i.e. taking life) was punishable by DEATH.

Our God is an amazing God.

Thank You, Lord JESUS, for all You've done. Thank You for the price You paid. We honor Your blood, Lord JESUS.

Doing the work of God is not a joyful assignment all the time. Though the Bible records only this event, I am certain there were other times when Jesus prayed with the same agony and grief because of the sinfulness of the world that he cared much.

I would like to ask those of you who grieve in the heart for the Lord. How do you overcome grief and agony for the Lord? When the sinfulness of your field seems too big to face, making you lose heart, what do you do? How do you have hope and joy restored? Do you have friends to share the grief? Does sharing help?

I've posted this clip of Paul Washer's sermon about the Gospel of Jesus Christ earlier but it surely is powerful teaching. This is why Jesus' sweat was like blood:

I am really interested in what this man had to say. I tried play the clip several times but it won't play all the way through, not only half way.

Edit:
This is the same video but from different site, from Paul Washer's Heart Cry missonary societys site:

I hope those will work for you...

 

[kisstheson]

Thanks! Hopefully they will work. I will watch Paul later when I can give him the proper attention he deserves.

 

[kisstheson]

powerful! excellent! Thanks!

This brother seems to have an idea about God's glory and holiness. I urge you to listen his other sermons... My whole view of God has been transformed through his preaching. I think he preaches with such authority of the Holy Spirit. Glory to God!

OUR GOD IS GOOD!

SHOUT FOR JOY!

I overcome by reading the Word, by the blood of the Lamb, and the word of my testimony. Reading the whole Bible, I see Jesus overcomes. He is Lord of all! This causes me to rejoice greatly. As for His suffering, this evokes the deepest feelings of gratitude and I offer Him the highest praise I could give. I only wish I praised Him more!

 

[MyLordIsMyLife]

I so dearly adore the Blood of my Lord- I pray He will let me have a deeper love for it and for Him...I love making reparations to my Beautiful Jesus for all the sins against Him including my own...I love You Jesus!

O to be WITH HIM as He suffered! To hold Him as He shed that lovely Blood- would be Heaven itself! Lord...my sweet Lord! I wish I could have held Your lovely Head as You suffered...kissed You and loved You tenderly...My own dear JESUS! And at the Cross...His Wounds...so beautiful beyond words- ah, Lord...Blood help me...Blood...YOUR Blood!


Love to all-
Jonathan, your brother in Christ
