April 20 – Matthew 26:38

Matthew 26:38 NIV
Then He said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed
with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and
keep watch with Me.”

The humanity of Jesus seems so real here, doesn’t
it? What was His sorrow? For us, for what He was
about to go through, because He had to “become
sin”? And then He asks them to stay with Him.
Could it possibly have been for HIS sake? Does He
still long for that — does He ask for us to be with
Him NOW?
