2019!JCS had a weirdly no homo last supper confrontation, so i went and dug up 2018!NBC!JCS instead and partner and I watched it tonight. And now I just want a production with 2018!Judas and 2019!Jesus. Full homo, full dramatic wailing, full terrible horrible everything is awful and i wish i could hate you but i can't and that's worse breakup.

[chaos-tree-lol]

Guess who just watched Jesus Christ Superstar?

This dumbass :D

And guess what else

I was thinking about Crowley and Aziraphale

Soooooo new headcanon. Neither of them like the musical, they both think it’s good but they just don’t like it

Crowley doesn’t really like it because he knew JC and cries whenever he hears Gethsemane and sees the crucifixion.

Aziraphale doesn’t really like it because he is reminded of JC as well, and his importance at being able to do something while it was all happening

But most importantly, they don’t like it, because it reminds them of each other

Aziraphale aches at listening to Judas’ Death, it kills him inside, he knows the lyrics by heart and sobs quietly whenever he hears them. He sees Crowley in Judas, sees him wanting to help but how he’s punished for daring to ask, he sees how it’s Judas himself who continues punishing himself, and is reminded of how Crowley still wonders if what he did truly was so awful

Crowley breaks during Gethsamane yes because he knew JC and remembers him not even questioning what was going to happen to him, and tears up at the realisation that JC probably had that struggle for as long as he lived, but what gets him to genuinely cry, is hearing the lyrics and seeing Aziraphale’s ideologies and thoughts being reflected, and how none of his prayers nor questions have even been answered

Neither of them ever speak of how it affects them or why, neither ever mention it whenever it’s showing in the West End, it’s an unspoken rule, one that neither realise the other has.

They both have the LP though, and use it whenever the other hurts them, it reminds them the other is human, and that they make mistakes, it reminds them to be kind, and to love them no matter what.

“Why Jesus Christ is the God of our painful Gethsemane” By Diana's Diaries:

“May I be willing, Lord, to bear Daily my cross for Thee; Even Thy cup of grief to share, Thou hast borne all for me. Lest I forget Gethsemane, Lead me to Calvary”

“This wonderful hymn penned down by Jennie E. Hussey has been my childhood favorite song. I am someone who tends to forget the Gethsemane that my Christ endured because I get caught up in my own heartaches.

Gethsemane literally means “the garden of oil press”, it was a place that was located on the Mount of Olives. Jesus often visited this place to PRAY with His disciples.

In olden times, the olive trees were beaten to have the olives fall to the ground. Then they were crushed in a stone basin until all the liquids came out and it became a red paste.

Our Christ was beaten and crushed by His own creation. The weight of our sins wore Him down, and He was crushed for our transgressions.

“But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed.” —Isaiah 53:5 (NASB)

“At the place called Gethsemane, Jesus wept and prayed ‘ O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from ME; Nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” —Matthew 26:39.

Let us remember that there was no conflict between the Persons of the Godhead, it is a revelation of Christ in His humanity.

My hands tremble as I write these words because I know I was the reason He was crushed and broken. Jesus foresaw how he was going to be crushed like the olives for the sake of his beloved creation.

“When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it. Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.” —John 18:1-2 (NIV)

Even his disciple, Judas knew the exact place where Jesus would be found.

—-Do we have a place of prayer where even the Devil fears to come nigh?

—-Have we strengthened and covered ourselves in prayer at the time of our trials and deep sorrows?

We have our painful gethsemanes in this world, the times when we feel crushed in our spirits by our very own, by the trials and wounds that never seem to go away.

Our gethsemanes are where we find zero strength to even pray because our heart is groaning deep, but Praise God, He prays for us.

It could be the temptation or an illness we go through as an individual, the brutal behavior of a family member, the betrayal of a friend, the emptiness and loneliness we experience in this world. The lack of empathy from those we thought were our near ones is so painful. Let me remind you, dear friend, Jesus who walked before you in HIS GETHSAMANE knows all about your gethsemanes.

Can you picture Christ wiping your tears in your season today? He is right there with you and I today.

Jesus Christ is the God over our gethsemanes because He experienced it Himself first. He is not the God who sat on the Heavenly throne and expected us to suffer on this Earth alone.”

Teens Xcite 2015.07.18

Overloaded

As teens, we have a lot of expectations and difficulties that we will face in our lives. If you have life, you have problems. Family, friends, relationships, money and more.

The question is not whether or not you have problems in your life, because you do. However, the question is whether we can overcome the problems that we face or not.

Some of us face problems, but we don't run to the right solution. Some of them run to the wrong solution and that makes them hurt more.

The solution to your problem is not to run away, or cut yourself, or to numb yourself. The solution for your problems is to give hem to Jesus Christ because He wants to take it away from you so that you can be free.

As teens, we have problems thatare true and real, and some of us are deeply hurt by them.

John 16:33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Sometimes the problem still exist and they don't disappear instantly. Sometimes the problem or issues, lies within us.

The truth for us here is that: When we allow God to change us, everything changes in our lives.

The first time when Jesus shed blood, and he did all the way to Calvary.

Luke 22:42-44 Jesus saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

The two truths: 1) Decide now to do the will of God. Jesus was at a crossroad when He was at the garden of Gethsamane. That was the last chance for Jesus to say "no" to dying on the cross. That was why He had prayed such a prayer to the Father in Heaven.

Jesus was also flesh and blood. He had to have this battle in His will because every flesh that was in Him struggled for self preservation.

Medically, when a human goes through so much stress amd dehydration, it is possible to bleed from the pores.

This showed how much stress that Jesus was being placed in.

As Jesus said that He would do the will of he Father, Jesus was therefore able to give to us victory, when we choose to do the will of God.

Don't try to deny the problem. Problems do not go away when you deny it. A moral issue will not go away, if you just ignore it.

Through the blood of Jesus, we do not remain as victims, but we can become victors.

Romans 8:37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

"Difficulties are overcome when our hearts are ready to do God's will, whatever it may be." - George Muller.

We need to repent of our wrongdoings. Some of these problems come about and overwhelm us because of our wrongdoings. If this is so, then the application is to do what is correct, and that is to repent of your wrongdoings.

Rely on God. There are many problems that come about due to circumstances and/or other's sins against us. Then, rely on God and do not run away from the problems.

Jesus does not cause your problems to disappear. However, He helps you overcome your problems by giving you strength to overcome.

2) Determine your destiny now. God's will can be fulfilled in your life and He wants you to be an overcomer. He doesn't want to just address the problem in your life but He wants to work in you so that He may be glorified.

When Jesus said yes to God, after the cross was settled, Jesus overcame death so that God's destiny could be fulfilled for Him.

Every trial and testing that you go through can be a testimony for God, to glorify Him.

Choose to visualise the will of God. All of us without Jesus, we are lost. However, when Jesus comes into our lives, He gives us the power and the will to overcome and to do the will of God.

Watch and Pray: The Admonition for 2022

Watch and Pray: The Admonition for 2022

Jesus, facing the greatest spiritual and physical battle of his life, taught us some great truths in the Garden of Gethsemane that should be our goal as we face the challenges of 2022. His words are a precious reminder that no matter how big or dark the challenges ahead of us might seem, we can take action to remain faithful to Him and His Word and refuse to be shaken or dismayed.

“Gethsemane (I Only Want to Say)” from Jesus Christ Superstar (1973)

music by Andrew Lloyd Webber lyrics by Tim Rice

[starsfadingbutilingeron]

also hope y’all know it’s jesus christ superstar arena tour rewatching season im about to be insufferable

[wavyinstincts]

Gethsemane

I declared my evil thoughts as facts;  sprayed holy water on my drafts,  tried to cleanse thoughts so unclean,  Will the lord save me from the unseen?   I’ve been outnumbered by vessels that breed sin,  led a parade of temptations to stop the fight within.  I’ve watched envy throw in the towel for greed,  given shame no excuses to delve into my needs.

I’ve met with souls of legion that belonged to offshore swines,  dined in lecherous rooms of women with beauty, serpentine.  I’ve crossed lines leading to places with Calvary in the rear,  freed my self-loathe from a salvation I didn’t have to bear.

I’ve deprived myself of the saving flames of Pentecost,  invited doubt as a shroud my mind could finally host.  I have strayed and aided in being led astray,

mostly to desires myopically far away,

with a clouded mind and a vague vision;    en route to a more rewarding mission,  paralleling the path of righteousness, as i avoided the quick detours to Gomorrah.

I traveled through the extremely hot climate, only to stop at the gates of misdirected faith. 

Welcome

-M.J

I know I've said I don't like Gethsamane, and I stand by the opinions that its pacing is wonky and doesn't give the emotional journey time to breathe, but I'm listening to it now and for the first time I'm processing it as the burnout anthem it is, and suddenly it's working for me.

The Gospel According to John

Author: This gospel is written by Jesus’ beloved disciple John. He is the son of Zebedee and Shalomi who appears to have been the sister of Mary the mother of Jesus. He is known as the beloved disciple due to his kind and loving nature. But he was also a very brave,  strong, energetic and enthusiastic person. He was a disciple of ‘John the Baptist’ before he became Jesus’ disciple. John was present at the moment when Jesus raised Jairus’s daughter from the dead, at the transfiguration and the ‘Garden of Gethsamane ’. 

John kept Jerusalem as his home city for a long time and looked after Mary after the death of Jesus. He later moved on to Ephesus and this became his home city. It is believed that John lived more than a 100 years. 

To Whom It is Written: This was written to the church.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Date: It was written in 97 A.D. The Synoptic gospels were written prior to this. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Theme: The theme of the gospel is to proclaim the Divinity of Jesus Christ. The story of Lazarus shows both the humanity and the divinity of Jesus. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Key Verse:  “ But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”      (John 20:31) KJV
