Jesus Betrayed and Denied
Jesus and the apostles were in the
garden of Gethsemane. Being in agony and deep distress, repetitions
three times, the father that, if there is any way possible, remove
this cup of suffering or death. The answer: there is no other way.
So with strong determination, he forges ahead with God's plan for
man's redemption. He tells his disciples,” Rise, let us be going.
See, he who betrays me is at hand.”
To examine Judas betrayal and Peter's denial so as to help us never
to betray or deny our savior. |

Christ is the Answer
The congregation is Colosse, like
many congregations, was made up of many classes of
people: wives, husbands, children, fathers, mothers,
servants, and masters to name a few. Paul informs
them that when the Word of Christ dwells in them
fully and completely, their relationships with each
other will be affected for the better. They will
become better wives, husbands . . . This begins and
ends with the Lord. Our relationship to Him comes
first. If our actions toward others [children,
servants . . .] are not right, our relationship with
the Lord is not right, either.
Theme: Christ is the answer if we desire approval
from God in all our relationships here on earth.
Text: Colossians 3:18-4:1
