“O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me;
nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”
-MATTHEW 26:39
nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”
-MATTHEW 26:39
His sweat mingled with His tears, and He wrestled with Himself three times before He could settle the issue, but once it was settled, He gave no resistance, and within a few hours everything was accomplished.
Oh! That is where we are lacking today! How long will we kick and struggle against the pricks? How long will we argue and complain against God and resist His dealings with us? If we have to die in order to truly live, let us be about the business of dying! If we must be crucified in order to have Resurrection Life, then let us just submit to it and get it over with!
