[:en]Thoughts from “Light to My Path” (4/10/17)[:]

[:en]Scripture Reading:  John 18:1-14

Biblical Truth.  At Gethsemane, Jesus told His disciples to keep watch with Him because His soul was overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death.  (Mat. 26:38;  Mark 14:34)  He asked His Father to take away the cup, yet not His will but His Father’s will be done” (Mat. 26:39; Mark 14:36).  But when He accepted and submitted to His Father’s will, His distress was changed to security and peace as joy set before him when He endured the cross. (Heb. 12:2)

Personal Application:  Are you willing to follow God’s will?  Will you be willing to drink the cup that our Heavenly Father gives you?

Prayer:  Lord, help us to surrender ourselves by submitting to your will.[:]
