MARK 14:27-38 - IT'S O.K. TO BE HUMAN!
It's O.K. to be scared. It's O.K. to get tired. It's O.K. to get hungry. It's O.K. to be anxious. If the Garden of Gethsemanee teaches us anything, it's that IT'S O.K. TO BE HUMAN! Even Our Lord, the Eternal Son of God, the Creator of the Universe was human in the Garden. No where else do we see Jesus' humanity displayed as vividly as when He asked His Father to deliver Him from "drinking the cup" of crucifixion. The problem arises when we let our humanity win the battle. It's O.K. to let our human nature knock us down, but we have to get back up and continue to fight. Jesus WENT to the cross! Peter got up from his nap and boldly defended his Master (although he did deny knowing Him later)! The apostles left the Garden and "turned the world upside down"! We need to accept the fact that IT'S O.K. TO BE HUMAN, but not forget to fight like we are DIVINELY INFILLED (Which We Are)!
