... strength for today, and courage to drink the cup which He offers me




John 18:7 - 11
Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus answered, I have told you that I am [he]: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way: that the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.

Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

[u]Then said Jesus unto Peter[/u], Put up thy sword into the sheath: [b]the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?[/b]




With mercy and with judgment my web of time He wove,
And aye, the dews of sorrow were lustered with His love;
I’ll bless the hand that guided, I’ll bless the heart that planned
When throned where glory dwelleth in Immanuel’s land.

Soon shall the cup of glory wash down earth’s bitterest woes,
Soon shall the desert briar break into Eden’s rose;
The curse shall change to blessing the name on earth that’s banned
Be graven on the white stone in Immanuel’s land.

How the victory He giveth
Over sin and death and hell.

John 18:12 - 23
Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him, and led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to [u]Caiaphas, which was the high priest[/u] that same year. Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest. But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter. Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not. And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.

The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine. Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said. [b]And when he had thus spoken, [u]one of the officers[/u] which stood by [u]struck Jesus[/u] with the palm of his hand, saying, [color=0066FF]Answerest thou [u]the high priest[/u] so? [/color] Jesus answered him, If[/b] I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: [u]but if well, [b]why smitest thou me?[/u][/b]

Hebrews 7:26 - 28
For such an [color=0066FF][b]high priest[/b][/color] [that is, [color=0066FF][b]JESUS[/b][/color]] became us, who is [u]holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners[/u], and made [u][b]higher than the heavens[/b][/u]; 27 who needs not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when [u][b]he offered up himself[/u][/b]. For [u]the law makes [b]men[/b] high priests[/u] which have infirmity; but [b]the word of the oath[/b], which was [i][b][u]since[/u] the law[/i], makes [u]the Son[/u], who is [u]consecrated for evermore[/u][/b].

[size=x-small][font=Georgia][color=0066FF]Hebrews 8
1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum:

we have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,[/color]**[color=0066FF] 2 a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. 3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.

4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: ..... 6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

Matthew 26:56 , 57
But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled. And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where [b]* the scribes and the elders were assembled[/b].

[color=9900FF]John 18:24 - 27
Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest. And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not. One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him? Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.[/color] Luke 22:60 - 62 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

Matthew 26:67
Then did [b]they* spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him[/b] with the palms of their hands,

Matthew 27:3 - 10
Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood.

[b]And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.[/b] And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. [b]And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood[/b]. And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value; And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.

[color=9900FF]John: 28 - 32
Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; [b]and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover[/b].

Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man? They answered and said unto him, [b]If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee[/b]. Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, [b]It is not lawful for us to put any man to death[/b]: That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.[/color]

... the ministry of His Holy Spirit and the love of saints


John 18:33 - 40
Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, [b]Art thou the King of the Jews?[/b] Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?

Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: [b]what hast thou done?[/b] Jesus answered, [b][color=FF6600]My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.[/b][/color]

Pilate therefore said unto him, [b]Art thou a king then?[/b] Jesus answered, [b][color=FF6600]Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.[/b][/color]

Pilate saith unto him, [b]What is truth?[/b] And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, [b]I find in him no fault. But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

Then cried they all again, saying, [color=CC0099]Not this man[/color],[/b] but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

... many ordinary blessings, to which I've become accustomed, but for which I thank Him still, with a grateful heart



(KJV) John 19:1 - 9
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, and said, [b]Hail, King of the Jews![/b] and they smote him with their hands.

Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him. Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, [b]Behold the man![/b]

When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify, crucify. [b]Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him[/b].

The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; and went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, [b]Whence art thou?[/b] But Jesus gave him no answer.




[b][color=33CC99]Men mock and taunt and jeer Thee, Thou noble countenance,
Though mighty worlds shall fear Thee and flee before Thy glance.
Thy grief and bitter passion were all for sinners gain;
Mine, mine was the transgresson, but Thine the deadly pain.

O sacred Head, sore wounded, with grief and shame weighed down,
O Kingly Head, surrounded with thorns, Thine only crown;
How pale Thou art with anguish, with sore abuse and scorn!
How does that visage languish, which once was bright as morn!

What language shall I borrow to thank Thee, dearest friend,
For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end?
O make me Thine forever, and should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never outlive my love to Thee.[/color][/b]

... His many proofs of Love divine, which when He seems far, remind my soul to praise Him anyway



John 19:10 - 16
Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? Jesus answered, Thou couldest have [b]no[/b] power against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.

And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: [b]but the Jews cried out[/b], saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: [b]whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar[/b].

When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: [b]and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King![/b]

[b]But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him[/b]. Pilate saith unto them, [b]Shall I crucify your King?[/b]

The chief priests answered, [b]We have no king but Caesar.[/b] [b][color=990033]
Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.[/color][/b]

The Babe of Bethlehem.

Crown Him the Son of God,
Before the worlds began,
And ye who tread where He hath trod,

Who every grief hath known
That wrings the human breast,
And takes and bears them for His own,
That all in Him may rest. [/color]

... His grace, in situations both practical and spiritual



[b][color=669966]John 19:17 - 34
And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.

And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.

Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.

Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and they might be taken away.

Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.[/color]



[color=CC66FF]Crown Him the Lord of life,
Who triumphed o'er the grave,
And rose victorious in the strife
For those He came to save.
His glories now we sing,
Who died, and rose on high,
Who died eternal life to bring,
And lives that death may die.

Crown Him the Lord of lords,
Who over all doth reign,
Who once on earth, the incarnate Word,
For ransomed sinners slain,
Now lives in realms of light,
Where saints with angels sing
Their songs before Him day and night,
Their God, Redeemer, King.

Crown Him the Lord of Heaven,
Enthroned in worlds above,
Crown Him the King to Whom is given
The wondrous name of Love.
Crown Him with many crowns,
As thrones before Him fall;
Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns,
For He is King of all. [/color][/b]

And he that saw , bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.

Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.[/color]

From pole to pole, that wars may cease,
And all be prayer and praise.

And round His pierced feet
Fair flowers of paradise extend
Their fragrance ever sweet.

Crown Him the Lord of years,
The Potentate of time,
Creator of the rolling spheres,
Ineffably sublime.
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
For Thou has died for me;
Thy praise and glory shall not fail
Throughout eternity.

Crown Him the Lord of love,
Behold His hands and side,
Those wounds, yet visible above,
In beauty glorified.

Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends His burning eye
At mysteries so bright.[/color][/b]

Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. And he stooping down, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.

Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, and the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. Then the disciples went away again unto their own home. [/color][/b]

(KJV) John 20: 11 - 18
But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, into the sepulchre, and seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. And [b]they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou?[/b]

She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

[b]Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou?[/b] She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. [b]Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.[/b]

Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.




Come, Saviour Jesus, from above,
Assist me with Thy heavenly grace,
Withdraw my heart from worldly love
And for Thyself prepare the place.

O, let Thy sacred presence fill
And set my longing spirit free,
Which pants to have no other will,
But night and day to feast on Thee

While in these regions here below
No other good will I pursue:
I’ll bid this world of noise and show,
With all its flattering snares, adieu.

That path with humble speed I'll seek
Wherein my Saviour’s footsteps shine:
Nor will I hear, nor will I speak
Of any other love than Thine.

To Thee my earnest soul aspires,
To Thee I offer all my vows;
Keep me from false and vain desires,
My God, my Saviour, and my Spouse.

Henceforth may no profane delight
Divide this consecrated soul;
Possess it Thou, who has the right
As Lord and Master of the whole.

Wealth, honour, pleasure, or what else
This short-enduring world can give,
Tempt as you will, my heart repels,
To Christ, alone, resolved to live.

Thee I can love, and Thee alone,
With holy peace and inward bliss;
To find Thou tak’st me for Thine own,
O, what a happiness is this!

Nothing on earth do I desire
But Thy pure love within my breast;
This, only this, will I require,
And freely give up all the rest.
