Hello and welcome to this Forum and enjoy your stay here! So why did Christ pray to be spared from the Cross? Do you actually believe that He tried to worm His way out of His Divine destiny? I have mentioned this many times before to others but cannot recall where it is at in this forum. Matthew 26:2 - Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified. Ths Psalms and the Prophets declare that His Crucifixion will come to pass and Jesus knowing full well did not try to escape the cup of suffering{The Wrath of God} which was to come upon Him for the remission for the sins of the World. Jesus fulfilled the Perfect will of God in His life here on Earth and so as all Chilren or sons of God should do likewise. Romans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Jesus as "GOD{The Son}" was obedient unto death, this verse below will explain it in greater detail: Philippians 2:8 - And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Likewise as all sons or children of God must remain obedient unto death, when faced in a situation where dread is coming upon you because you are fulfilling the will of God, you or any child of God must remain obedient regardless of the suffering which is to come ahead. This situation has occured many times with "martyrs" and the martyrs are setting examples of what Jesus displayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, they may have felt uncomfortable with what the outcome would be, however they remained obedient unto death. So Jesus was setting the standard of how all who worship God in Spirit and in Truth should act accordingly. Any True Believer will face a similar situation{Most Likely near the end of their Life} and if overcomed then will be comforted afterwards. God Bless! |
