NOT MY WILL, BUT THINE BE DONE

In the Garden of Gethsemane Jesus was engulfed by sorrow. 

Matthew 26:39 And he went a little further and fell on his face and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.

Jesus was not wrestling with or resisting God's will. He was yielding Himself to God's will.

As perfect Man, He felt the awful burden of sin, and His holy soul was repelled by it. Yet, as the Son of God, He knew that this was His mission in the world.

Salvation is free, but it is not cheap.

We can't comprehend it, but we were on the mind of Christ in his garden prayer and on the cross.

The look of love was on His face, Thorns were on His head

Blood was on His scarlet robe, stained a crimson red

Though His eyes were on the crowd, He looked ahead in time

And when He was on the cross, I was on His mind.

For He knew me, yet He loved me

He whose glory makes the heavens shine

So unworthy of such mercy

Yet when He was on the cross, I was on His mind.
