Jesus Do take Exam

How Jesus took his exam?

To start off…

Ecclesiastes 7:2
Better to go to the house of mourning
Than to go to the house of feasting,
For that is the end of all men;
And the living will take it to heart.

Death is the end is to be taken to heart…
The end of everything is a good thing and it should be taken to heart.

Do you feel like dying each time you comes to exam period?
Is it like knowing death is near you and you can do nothing about it?
So should you also consider that to be a good thing and take it to heart?

Today, I want to share about a story of Jesus Christ going for his examination.

Matt 26;
36 Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” 37 And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.”
39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”
40 Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless[e] I drink it, Your will be done.” 43 And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.
44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45 Then He came to His disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.”

A few days before Jesus goes to examination, he studied very hard…
Just like everyone he feels weak, sorrowful and stressed.

But I do need you guys to take note the things he did during that period of his study – he study 1hr and then he constantly reminding himself not to fall into temptation by praying. He also found rested after an hour of study.
Then when he studies finish, he tells his disciple to go for his exam….
For all knows Jesus did went into the examination halls, and had his Death (exam) taken.
And 3days later, he had his result back….

So did Jesus pass his exam? Yes/No..
I nt sure he pass or not.. but I know he had overcomes it, and done with it already.

Matt 28
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore[c] and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

After getting the result, Jesus said that go make disciples, teach them what you have observe.
Another example, if now you have to go back to take your PSLE… will u have fear like now for your exam?

Luke 24 (NIV)
44He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms." 45Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.

Just like the starting verse

Ecclesiastes 7
8 The end of a matter is better than its beginning,
and patience is better than pride.

Study is something to gain knowledge, result is second, have faith in the lord is 1st. at the end of the day you will realize all things you worry about is just like a fool chasing winds… but if you have gain patience with what God had put you through…. Rejoice coz you are ready to teach another open up their mind to understand.

Sometimes is not really about the result, of coz getting a good grade is awesome, but there also a reason why you did not get what you wanted… but you must have patient to realize and understands why this happening to you, so that one day you will also succeed.
