NOVEMBER 15  THE JESUS QUESTIONS  JQ#32 

“What! Could you not watch with Me one hour?”  (Matthew 26:40)

LIVING FOR JESUS - Daily Prayer   

JESUS, Lord You have taken our lost souls out of the darkness 

and have shown us the Light of Truth through Your Holy Words 

and those Words from You have dispelled the worldly demons that 

have possessed us. Lord as I continue my walk with You I pray now

 for the growth of my Faith and Witness that I may share Your Light

 with those that are themselves walking in the darkness and the 

demonic lies that the world calls “the new truth?”. 

Lord Jesus, Your Word is Life, and only Your Word can take our hearts

 that have been hardened by the lies of this world and clean and renew

 our deceitful hearts as King David prayed

 “Create in me a clean heart O God 

and renew a right spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10)       

AMEN

NOVEMBER 15  THE JESUS QUESTIONS

    Jesus has just announced, “You know that after two days

 is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”

 (Matthew 26:2)

 which sets the scene very well for us. Jesus and His disciples are in 

Jerusalem for the Passover which for the Jews is the Holiest of Feasts

 as they remember God delivering Israel from their bondage in Egypt

 through the prophet Moses.  The Passover centers around the 

killing of the Passover lamb in memory and remembrance of 

the Death Angel “Passing Over” all who had obeyed God’s instructions

 and had killed the {Passover} lamb and put the blood of the lamb 

on their doorposts and all who were inside the house covered by the blood

 were saved, and all who had not followed God’s instructions perished that night. 

Now Jesus has announced that there are only “two days” remaining

 before He is “delivered up to be crucified” and even with all the 

prophecies pointing to this Most Historic Event in the entire course 

of human history, in Jerusalem, at Passover, and Jesus having 

demonstrated Himself to be the Son of God, those that had been with Him

 failed to see that Jesus Himself was the Lamb of God as 

John the Baptist had declared. Everyone that had been with Jesus

 and had heard Jesus say that He would be killed in Jerusalem 

and on the “Third Day” that He would be “resurrected from the dead” 

should have understood that 

Jesus IS the Passover Lamb 

and that it was through the Shedding of His Innocent Blood

 that the sins of a fallen world could be forgiven. 

God was giving the Ultimate Gift of His Only Begotten Son 

and in just “two days” that Historic Event would take place and 

Jesus would proclaim with His last breath on the cross, 

“IT IS FINISHED”.

 Once and for all, the Blood of the Lamb will be shed 

for the remission of sin and God’s Plan of Salvation will be in place for all

 mankind, God having done His Part and now all we have to do 

is take the Shed Blood of Jesus and apply it to our hearts 

so that we can “pass from death unto life” (John 5:24) 

If the disciples who had been walking with Jesus had missed it 

at the Passover in Jerusalem it is understandable that 2000 years later 

we who have been walking in darkness have missed it also, 

but it doesn’t change the Historic Fact that Jesus Christ died for our sins! 

God’s Plan of Salvation is firmly in place so we should follow His 

instructions and apply the Blood of the Lamb of God to our lives

 and the Death Angel will PASSOVER us and we can claim the Abundant Life

 promised to the Believer! 

 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) … 

and the Good News: “IT IS FINISHED”!!!!!!
