“And there appeared
an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.” Luke 22:42 Even the Son of God, being part immortal
needed angelic help. What makes us think that we can go it alone? That we can
get through the day without prayer or without angelic help. Well, yes, we can
and often do, but that help is there for us if we will but access it. We came
to earth to be tested and tried and angelic help does not mean the experience
will be removed any more than the cup was removed from Christ.
“And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly and his
sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.”
No mortal could have endured such agony, but being immortal
Christ could not die. He willingly gave up his life. On the cross when he had
finished all that needed to be done he said, “Father into thy hands I commend
my spirit.” And having said thus he gave up the ghost or his mortal spirit and left
this physical world. Luke 22:46
Christ did for us what we being totally mortal could not do
for ourselves. Thus Jesus said unto Thomas, “I am the way, the truth, and the
life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John
14:6)
