On This Day- Jesus Gives the Warning

On this day, Christ issued a warning-
One among Him would betray Him
For the crucifixion was forthcoming
Thus He began to prepare them

There, each pledged full loyalty
To stand tall in His defense
Then... off near the lone olive tree
They slept through their allegiance

Of this day will be remembered
His wonderous intercessory prayer
And that the disciples slumbered
While all of our sins He did bear

Three times He came and awoke them.
His only source of comfort... an angel
As with this agony so foreign
He was pressed upon nearly to strangle

Then to test His forgiveness
As ever His work was His alone
Judas came with the famous kiss
The arranged betrayal was shown

Do I truly love Jesus Christ?
Have I let Him into my life?
Do I trust and put Him first
As I think of His sacrifice?

The disciples pledge their loyalty to Him

President Hinckley said: Be loyal to the Church. Stand tall for it. Defend it. Speak no evil against it. It is the work of God. He who ridicules it or defames it offends Him whose church it is. It carries the sacred name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
