Sleep can be an escape for people that do not want to face certain issues and problems. They would rather sleep than deal with what is really going on around them. You cannot watch effectively with your eyes closed. You can’t see nor prepare for what is coming if you are not paying attention. Jesus told them to watch so they won’t mess things up. When we are attentive to what we are doing and saying, we can prevent unwanted occurrences. Mark 14:34 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch. Mark 14:37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour? Mark 14:38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
