Who can arise from the dead but GOD????
What is the most important decision you will ever make while you are alive on earth, one that has eternal consequences for what happens after you die?
The "most important decision" you will ever make is what you will do with Jesus Christ. Will you trust Him as your Savior and Lord, or will you reject Him?
The Bible teaches that every person is a sinner and that Jesus came to die on the cross for our sins and rise again from the dead. God offers forgiveness, eternal life, and a restored relationship with Him ONLY through faith in Jesus Christ.
What did Jesus do to prove He was totally God?
Jesus proved He was totally God in many ways, but the "greatest proof" was that He rose from the dead by His own power. No mere man could conquer death, but Jesus did exactly what He said He would do. Three days after He was crucified, He rose alive from the tomb and over 500 people saw Him at one time.
Jesus told His followers that there is ONLY ONE WAY to come to Father GOD. What or Who is the only way and why?
The only way to God the Father is Jesus Christ. Jesus said,
"I am the WAY, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
Jesus is the ONLY sacrifice that God would accept for our sins. He alone is perfect without sin.
After the last supper, what type of body did Jesus have in Gethsemane?
In Gethsemane, Jesus had a "real human body" that could suffer pain, sorrow, and weariness, yet He remained the sinless Son of God. ✝️
Because Jesus had a true human body, He could feel the intense anguish of knowing the suffering that awaited Him. He became tired, prayed earnestly, and experienced deep emotional distress. Yet unlike every other human being, Jesus was completely without sin.
In the garden of Gethsemane, when Jesus told His disciples to arise because the time had come to meet Judas and the Roman soldiers, how was Jesus' mind?

He was a w _ l _ i _ g S _ vior
By that moment, Jesus was "READY". He had already spent time in deep prayer and had fully submitted Himself to His Father's will. He knew exactly what was about to happen, yet He did not run away or hide. Instead, He was "WILLING" to obey His Father's will, fulfilling God's plan, and saving sinners.
What does Jesus' suffering in Gethsemane show us about obedience to Father God's will?
o b _ _ _ e nc e is s_ m _ t _ m _ s
V _ e _ y hard but it is a_ w_ _ s
w _ r t _ it
obedience is sometimes very hard but it is always worth it
What can we learn from Jesus in Gethsemane, suffering to the point of death, about how He understands our suffering?
Jesus understands our suffering because He experienced deep sorrow, anguish, loneliness, and emotional pain Himself. In the Garden of Gethsemane, His suffering was so intense that He said, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death" (Matthew 26:38).
Jesus also shows us what to do when we suffer. He brought His pain to the Father in prayer, trusted God's wisdom, and continued to obey even when the path was difficult.

After the last supper in the garden of Gethsemane, did God the Father want to remove "the cup of suffering" from Jesus? Why or why not?
No. Although Jesus prayed, "If it is possible, let this cup pass from Me," God the Father did not remove the "cup of suffering" because it was the Father's plan for Jesus to die as the sacrifice for the sins of the world.
Out of His great love, God sent His Son to save sinners. There was no other way for sin to be fully paid for and for people to be reconciled to God. Jesus willingly submitted to the Father's will, praying, "Nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will" (Matthew 26:39).
After the last supper, how did Jesus act toward God the Father in Gethsemane? Was Jesus upset or mad that He had to suffer such agony and sorrow with the cup of suffering. Was He angry the Father did not take it away from Him?
Rather than becoming upset, mad or angry, Jesus willingly accepted the cup of suffering because of His love for the Father and His love for us.
His sorrow was not rebellion, bitterness, or anger toward God. Instead, it revealed His perfect obedience. Even in His deepest suffering, Jesus trusted that His Father's plan was right and good.

After the Last Supper, why did Peter, James, and John NOT stay awake and pray as Jesus had instructed them in the Garden of Gethsemane?
they were e _ haus _ _ _ p _ y s i _ a l _ y
Peter, James, and John did not stay awake because they were "physically exhausted" and "emotionally overwhelmed". It had been a long and difficult evening, and they were filled with sorrow over what Jesus had told them. Though Jesus urged them to watch and pray, their tired bodies gave in to sleep.
Jesus said, "The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak" (Matthew 26:41). Their failure to stay awake reminds us how much we need God's strength, especially during times of testing and temptation.
What did Judas do to let the Roman soldiers know who was Jesus so that they could arrest Him in the garden of Gethsemane?
Judas had arranged a signal with the soldiers. He told them that the man he greeted with a kiss would be Jesus. When Judas arrived in the Garden of Gethsemane, he went directly to Jesus, greeted Him, and kissed Him. This identified Jesus to the soldiers so they could arrest Him.
A kiss was normally a sign of friendship and respect, which made Judas's betrayal especially painful. Yet Jesus already knew what Judas was about to do and willingly gave Himself into the hands of those who came to arrest Him.
