Transcript

Alright, thank you very much. And hello again, radio friends, how in the world are you? Well, I’m fine, thank you, and nice of you to ask. [chuckle] I’m feeling great, I hope you are too. I look forward to these times when we can share from God’s Word, believe me I do.

We’re looking at Mark 14. The last time we got together, we were discussing what happened at what we call the Last Supper. And it says now in verse 26 of Mark 14, “When they had sung a hymn, they went out into the Mount of Olives.” Our Lord Jesus didn’t have any place to spend overnight, so the evidence is, that oftentimes, He and the disciples would spend the night under the trees in the Garden of Gethsemane or elsewhere, because there wasn’t any other place to go. “The Son of man,” He said, “Hath not where to lay His head.” You think about that, you think how we insist on the what we call the comforts of home. We want a comfortable bed; we want a roof over our heads; we want clean sheets and pillow cases and covers, and we want the temperature of the room just right. And if we’re traveling, we want a place that’s clean and decent and quiet and comfortable and all of that.

But one of the facts of everyday life for Jesus our Blessed Lord was that He didn’t have any place to spend the night oftentimes. Now, this was gonna be a very special night, of course. Before the morning was to dawn, He would be taken prisoner and subjected to all of the extreme cruelty and torture that preceded His crucifixion. But out into the Mount of Olives they went, ostensibly to spend the night. It does seem as though the rest of the disciples, with the exception of Judas, who was about his nefarious business of betrayal, but it does seem that the rest of the disciples really didn’t realize that this was it, because they simply laid down and went to sleep.

The prayer life of the Lord Jesus was marked by long periods of prayer during the night hours. Habitually He did this. We’ll talk about His prayer life in a minute. But habitually He prayed during the night hours while they were sleeping, so this was just another night prayer meeting to them when later on He said, “Tarry ye here and watch with me.” So, that’s the human nature side of it. “It’s always been this way, this is just another night and there’s no need to stay awake, we’re all tired out, we’ve had a big day, we’re going to sleep.” That’s what happened.
