August 30, 2011 In anticipation of what is ahead, Jesus experiences intense emotions, described as trouble, distress and exceeding sorrow. What final decision does Jesus make here in discussion with his "Abba Father" (daddy)?As the hours approaches to his pending humiliation,torture and painful death, Jesus prayed to God, his father whom he affectionally called Abba. Jesus appealed for this suffering to be dispensed with. But if it is Gods WILL Jesus would still submit to the suffering as atonement for earthly mans sins. Gods purpose for Jesus, his only Devine Son, to physically undergo the suffering demonstrates the profound love He has for man, as He understands the tremendous sorrow and suffering that Abraham must had felt when he raised his knife in obedience to Gods command to sacrifice his son as a sacrificial lamb! God temporarily abandoned and submit His Devine Son to mans cruelty despite man disobedience and sinful ways. What more can man expect of God " |
