Choice example (easy choice, hard choice)
Prayer
You see everyone in this next part of John 18 has the choice, they can either walk by the Spirit or by the Flesh.
It sometimes seems like an easy choice but instead we find that it is a difficult one, when we factor everything in.
It is the same choices we face today, but let’s read and see what happens here, do the people Christ or the flesh as we witness the second part of the battle of the flesh vs. the Spirit.
