Jesus was not a sissy in the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus understood what we often do not, that being that things were not going according to the plan. God expected Jesus to be received as King the people of Israel. Put aside flannel-graph theology. God lives with us and makes decisions every day! “God never changes!” you cry out. Of course not, God has always had the ability to change-His-mind! Read the book. It’s in there.

Chapter 22: Jesus Answers John the Baptist Regarding His Identity
JOHN THE BAPTIST was in prison, but he heard about the works of Jesus. He called two of his disciples and told them to go to Jesus and ask:
“Art thou he that should come? Or look we for another?”
They found Jesus and said to him:
“John Baptist has sent us unto thee, saying, ‘Art thou he that should come? Or look we for another?”
While the two disciples of John were with him Jesus healed many who were inform, many who were suffering with plagues, and others who were filled with evil spirits; also, to many that were blind he gave sight.
Then Jesus said unto the disciples:
“Go and show John again those things which ye do hear and see: the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.”
