Topic:
Jesus Obeyed
In the garden of Gethsemane, even in the agony before His arrest,
Jesus obeyed his Father in heaven. Knowing everything in advance,
knowing everything He was going to go through, knowing everything in
advance about His torture, about His flogging, about His humiliation,
about the pain of His crucifixion, about the agony of His death, Jesus
obeyed. Jesus made no attempt to argue with God, and He did not accept
another way other than the Cross. Jesus prayed for God's direction and
will. When Jesus realized in His humanity God said no (that Jesus would
have to go to the cross) Jesus fully committed himself. Jesus was
arrested in His place of prayer. Jesus was arrested in the very place
where He and his Father in Heaven shared things together as none of us
could ever understand. In spite of all He knew in advance, Jesus obeyed.
How can any of us not have a broken heart when we kneel at the foot of
His Cross over what we did to Him? How can any of us not be so overcome
with grief we must immediately turn away from the sin in us that put
Christ upon the cross?
