"Men still have to be governed by deception."
Georg C. Lichtenberg
Though it might seem tempting I choose to disagree.
"And love is not a victory march,
It's a cold and it is a broken Hallelujah
...
It's not a cry that you hear at night,
And it is not somebody who has seen the light
It's a cold and it is a broken Hallelujah" Hallelujah Words & Music by Leonard Cohen
Though I'm not sure on the meaning of the song and from what I've found it seems no one does, maybe if I had more time I could figure it out but I find that these words have the meaning that I want to convey.
Luke 22 NKJV
"43 Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven,strengthening Him.
44 And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground."
It seems the hardest part was not the next day but it was in the calm before the public battle was fought. I think we miss that sometimes.
Luke 22 NKJV
"31 And the Lord said, 'Simon, Simon! Indeed,Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat.'
32 'But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.'"
If you know what happens you will understand, and if not you should read it.
This is where it ties together. The story is a broken Hallelujah filled with desertion, betrayal, submission, and forgiveness. We see that there is a way through, even though it makes absolutely no sense to those around. But we see that God fulfill his will and ever one took their place, in the baffling dance of free will and divine plan. It appears that the fiercer the fire makes the stronger the person, the fiercer the fire the bigger the victory.
Luke 24:52
"And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,"
