Surrender

Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:39

The heaviness Jesus felt on that day, only God knows. What was required of Him took him all the surrender He could give. Gethsemane means the olive press. Jesus was there in the garden, being immeasurably pressed, praying that if possible, God could take the cup of suffering from Him. Yet He surrendered to the will of God. Thank God for Jesus. The drops of blood he sweated in deep emotion is what He went through for you and me. How blessed and hallowed is our Lord Jesus. We will be eternally grateful for all God has done to save us.

Lord Jesus, you prepared your heart for giving your life for us. Thanks for being my saviour and Lord. Help me surrender to you my all as you have exampled.
