Jesus Prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane
"Abba, Father, he said, "everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will , but what you will." - St Matthew 26:39
A DISCOURSE ON GIVING OURSELVES TO PRAYER AND THE WORD...[Acts 6:4]
Jesus was in great anguish over his approaching physical separation from the Father and the death for the sins of the world. The divine course was set, but he in his human nature still struggled. Because of this anguish Jesus experienced, he can relate to our suffering, too...
Jesus' strength to obey came from his relationship with God the Father, who is also the source of our strength.
The sinless Son of God took our sins upon himself to save us from suffering and separation -
Jesus was not rebelling against his Father's will when he asked that the cup of suffering and separation be taken away. In fact, he reaffirmed his desire to do God's will by saying,"Yet not as I will, but as you will." This prayer reveals to us a greater theme here...
In times of suffering sometimes we wish to knew the reason for our anguish and suffering - Even though Jesus knew what lay ahead of him, his pain was intense... What does it take to be able to say "as you will" ? It takes a firm trust in God's plans; it takes prayer and obedience each step of the way.
There is an interesting irony to this episode - Like the thief crucified with Jesus on the right hand side reaffirmed his desire to do God's will on the second coming; we act as though our sin disqualifies us from the Grace of God...! That is the only thing that qualifies us...!!
Jesus told his disciples,"If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it"- [St Matthew 16:24]
When we try to save ourselves, we forfeit the salvation that comes through Jesus Christ alone.
We cannot take God's grace for granted, that is self-righteous attempt to earn grace by works.
So salvation, by grace through faith, and this is not our own doing: It is the Gift of God - (see Ephesians 2:8-9)
