[: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.[:]
