Today's Scripture
John 12:27
“Now my soul is deeply troubled. Should I pray, ‘Father, save me from this hour�? But this is the very reason I came!
Jesus knew His crucifixion lay ahead, and because He was human, He dreaded it. He knew He would have to take the sins of the world on Himself, and He knew this would separate Him from His Father. He wanted to be delivered from this horrible death, but He knew that God sent Him into the world to die for our sins, in our place. Jesus said no to His human desires in order to obey His Father and glorify Him. Although we will never have to face such a difficult and awesome task, we are still called to obedience. Whatever the Father asks, we should do His will and bring glory to His Name.
O Lord, we are so grateful for You Ultimate sacrifice and Forever gift. Father, help us to face our tasks, however hard they may be, with an obedient heart and always look to You for strength & courage. In Jesus' Name, Amen..
May God bless you !!
Love in Him,
