Walk and Talk with the Lord #30

We left off yesterday with Jesus walking and talking with His disciples, going to the garden of prayer, where they promised to stay with Him, but dozed off during the conversation, and abandoned Him when he was arressted, tried, and convicted:

 So they took Jesus, 17 and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha.

Jesus bore His own cross. There was no one there to walk and talk Him through it, but the Father.  Not that long before this Jesus had made this statement: 

24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?

Jesus bore His own cross so we would not have to.  The Father was the only One He had to talk to on His last journey, but we will not be, if we follow after Christ. He has gone before, and He will be there for us, so when we find ourselves bearing our cross, we can cry out to Him, and He will hear and answer. When we truly are following Jesus, we will walk and talk with Him often.
