You are not alone – Matthew 26 – [REBEL] – Encounter Houston – Brent Phillips
When you feel alone nothing else matters. It doesn’t matter if it is really true or not. When you feel alone it is debilitating.
We have been created to be in the community to receive and give love. And when we feel alone we feel completely out of our creation and what we are suppose to be.
But there is something we must know, “You are not alone!”
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 “Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. 10 If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.”
We can see that this scripture is true from the actions of people in society that have felt alone. When they have fallen down and their was no one there to help pick them back up. They choose to do things that aren’t necessarily the best decisions.
But you must remember, “You are not alone!” There is one person that has been through it all
Matthew 26:36-38 “Then Jesus went with them to the olive grove called Gethsemane, and he said, “Sit here while I go over there to pray.” He took Peter and Zebedee’s two sons, James and John, and he became anguished and distressed. He told them, “My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”
Remember you are not alone, Jesus knows what you are feeling!
We like to be able to relate with others that have walked a path that we are walking. Someone who can meet up where we are at and lets know that, “You are not alone” that we will get through whatever situation it is that we might be in.
The problem with the God of religion is that we can’t relate to him. Which makes he distant and far, which makes him un-relatable. But that is not the God that we serve.
Hebrews 4:14-16 “So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.”
We serve a God who took on flesh so that He could go through everything that we go through and experience everything that we experience just so we could say “I am not alone.” He understands our weaknesses.
