He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will." (Mat 26:39-40 NKJV) I often think about this verse and wonder exactly what Jesus was feeling inside, knowing that this was the very thing He was destined for, to face death on the cross at the hands of the Roman soldiers. Despite being God in the flesh, He was also here on earth in human form, where He experienced everything that we experience; joy, sorrow, hope, and disappointment... all of the emotions we experience on a daily basis. But through this terrible ordeal, He chose to do what was right. He chose to die the cruelest of deaths on the cross and to redeem mankind, you and me, from our sins. I am thankful for His sacrifice. I am thankful that He took my place. I am thankful that my soul and my salvation have been bought and paid for by His blood. If you have grown lukewarm in your walk, stop and consider what was given for you... the price that was paid to redeem you. Let it sink in and penetrate your spirit. If we can truly start to understand this, we will see so many things in a different light. ( Pastor Curt & Pastor Ellie ) Seven Seas Ministries
