But if you will, my dear friends, I would have you [[think]] about what this time in the life of our [[Master Son]] entailed. He had learned fully by the time of his [[baptism]] that every [[decision]] had to be brought into the [[presence]] of God, [[our Father]]. He had made the [[supreme]] [[dedication]] in a gradually increasing commitment to submit every decision to the [[guidance]] of his indwelling [[Adjuster]]. He knew that his life was about to end as a [[mortal]], for he had seen in that [[pre-knowledge]] that he had as a combined [[divine]] Son and Son of Man that his [[public]] ministry had virtually ended. As he turned his face to [[Jerusalem]] he experienced the range of [[human]] [[emotion]]: [[anticipating]] the anguish, the [[shame]], the [[betrayal]], and even the inevitable [[crucifixion]]. He attempted a few times to forewarn his [[apostles]] but they were virtually clueless as to the [[meaning]] of the events that were to come to pass. | But if you will, my dear friends, I would have you [[think]] about what this time in the life of our [[Master Son]] entailed.
