Matt
26:38
Then
saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye
here, and watch with me.
The Lord Wants Us to Watch with
Him
Jesus
is talking to his disciples and tells them that he was extremely sad and
sorrowful. He asks them to wait with Him
and pray with Him. When the Lord Jesus
paid the incredible price of His own life to tear down the veil between us and
God, He didn’t just do it because we needed it, but also because He desires
fellowship with us. The things that make
the Lord sad should make us sad. We
should wait in His presence and pray to Him about the things that grieve His
heart. We should be in a place where His
concerns become our concerns. We should
come before Him and pray for those things that grieve His heart. The Lord wants us to wait in His presence and
watch with Him.
