“And they all lived happily ever after,” is the way we want our stories to end. However, that is not the way most real-life experiences come to a conclusion. It’s hard to face the reality that as bad as it is, it will only get worse.
Enters the Man, Jesus:
saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”
He is facing the torture of the cross and the weight of the sins of the world. This was necessary for people like you and me. He was going through this for others. What if Abraham hadn’t left Ur of the Chaldees? My mother-in-law would bite her bottom lip when faced with a difficult decision and then do it.
Let’s face it, it is not always an easy call.
Give it some thought.
