April 22 – Matthew 26:42

Matthew 26:42 NIV
He went away a second time and prayed, “My
Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken
away unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”

How can we ever know what He really went
through for us? Even if we could imagine the
physical (and Mel Gibson tried), I think the
spiritual is totally beyond us. We say, “When
I get to heaven, I’m going to ask God_______,”
but most of those things won’t even matter
then. But I want to know what Jesus gave up,
what the Father lost or sacrificed. Was there
permanent loss? Can we begin to understand
how much He loves us? Take some time to
thing about it, Annie. Live in His love for you.
