“ABBA FATHER”

“‘ABBA FATHER’, HE CRIED OUT, ‘EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE FOR YOU. PLEASE TAKE THIS CUP OF SUFFERING AWAY FROM ME. YET I WANT YOUR WILL TO BE DONE AND NOT MINE.'” MARK 14:36

Just before the end was to begin Jesus went to the garden to pray. He prayed in earnest to God and wanted God to take what was about to take place, away from him. He knew the plan. He knew the pain, suffering and anguish that was set before him. As a human he wanted nothing to do with it. He called out to God asking that this suffering could be taken away. However, Jesus knew the will of our God in heaven. In order to save the world, he had to die this horrible death. Jesus knew the will of God and wanted God’s will done and not his own. He knew the plan beforehand. He knew what suffering was about to take place. Yet he succumbed to God’s will. He loved each of us so much that he went through that sacrifice for you and me, so that we would have a choice. Because of his obedience to God, you and I have the opportunity to be saved. We have the opportunity to be witnesses for what Jesus did. We have the opportunity to live our lives with faith, trust and obedience. However, we must also overcome our will for our lives and see God’s plan. We must trust in his plan and act upon what he wants us to do. It is important that we stay earnestly in Gods holy word, meditate on his word, and continue to pray and believe him for his answers. He loves us very much and we must love him. We should be a doer of his word and not a hearer only. We all go through our own problems. We go through sadness, anguish, fear, doubt and worry. But we have Jesus who has already been through those things and defeated each one. We must continue to Have faith! Build upon your faith! Exercise your faith! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
