Sweat equity is the most valuable equity there is.” — Mark Cuban..
Meaning of sweat moisture exuded through the pores of the skin, typically in profuse quantities as a reaction to heat, physical exertion, fever, or fear.
The word sweat appears approximately 5 times in the Bible...
Many of us have heard Jesus sweat blood🩸? But what does that mean? Do we even stop to understand the deeper implications or do we just pass over those words without feeling and pain in our own hearts?
I did not even know that this was even possible, did you?
I did discover yes, that you can sweat blood... It was not just a symbolic view of a pivotal moment in history.
There is an extremely rare condition called hematidrosis. The face and forehead are common locations for this to occur. Many people do not know anything about this condition. But many have heard about it from the Bible but how many of us have taken the time to understand the depth of this moment ??
When we look to the Bible we see in Luke 22:44; “And being in agony he prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.”
The operative word is agony... The rare condition can occur with great FEAR...
Have we ever stopped and lingered in this moment? Or do we rush past this moment straight to the cross? I do not want to diminish the suffering of any of these precious heartbreak moments...
But I do know from my own experience there are times we suffer long and hard before the actual event occurs.
He was suffering in the garden long before that heart-crushing day occurred ... He was left to suffer in anguish alone and fear gripped His mind with such magnitude that He sweat those precious drops of blood...
Even though His mind knew what was to come His soul knew it was written and the moment must be fulfilled for all of mankind... He could have walked away... But He knew it was part of His Heavenly Father's greater plan.
What a beautiful heartfelt gift of LOVE. His only crime was that He wanted is to teach us how to live and how to love...Crucifying Him was the biggest crime man will ever encounter.
So I can only ask what sweat equity have we given Him in return ??? That is a question that only you can answer...
All I know is that it would be a crime if we do not surrender our hearts to His commitment of love... He sweat those tears of love for you and me.
He is the most amazing gift our Creator has ever shared. He is the brightest star and our guiding light... Our love for life!
It’s Him... it’s always been Him
Turn up the heat for Him &.... Sweat 💦
And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling do And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. Luke 22:44
When they'll ask you, "Why are you groaning?' you are to say, "Because of the news that just arrived. Every heart will melt with fear, every hand will grow limp, every spirit will grow faint, and every knee will glisten with sweat.' Look! It has come and it will be fulfilled," declares the Lord GOD. Ezekiel 21:7
