“What You Will”

“What You Will”

Blessings folk!

Jesus was with HIs disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane.
He was deeply grieved.
He knew the time had come.
He prayed.

Give close attention…

Mar 14:33-36
And He took with Him Peter and James and John,
and began to be very distressed and troubled.

And He said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved to the point of death;
remain here and keep watch.”

And He went a little beyond them,
and fell to the ground and began to pray that if it were possible, the hour might pass Him by.

And He was saying, “Abba! Father! All things are possible for You;
remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will.”

Jesus declares some things here.

He declared God as Abba…Father.
His Father.
Again, the Wondrous Mystery of Father/Son/Spirit as One.
The Triune nature of God.

Jesus declares that all things are possible for God.
Father is limited in no manner.
Nothing is impossible with Him.

Jesus declares His desire that this “cup” be removed from Him.
He knew why He had come.
He knew why He had “stepped into time and His creation”.
He knew what He was about to face.
He asked Father to remove this “cup”.
He doubted not.

Jesus declares that He does not want HIs will.
He wants Father’s will.

This is the crux of the moment.
For Jesus.
For us.

Do we want the will of Father?
Or do we want “our will” guised in religious pursuits.

Jesus wanted the cup removed, but His ultimate desire was the will of Father.

May we live likewise, always desiring the will of Father.
