MARK 14:36
And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
COMMENTARY:
Brethren in the Lord, in this context, Jesus, at the end of his mission was in agony; because of the trails before him: he called on Abba Father, to release him of his burden; but it was the will of the Father to accomplish the mission, as a result, he was persecuted, and died on the cross to redeem us all.
Jesus, was predestined to go through trails, and die for our sins on the cross of Calvary; but when the time drew closer to fulfill the mission, his spirit was willing, but his flesh was weak; and was overwhelmed with grieve; however, he prayed to the Father to strengthen him through the trails, and to his death on the cross.
Case in point, have we ever agreed to accomplish an assignment, but later found out that the task was more difficult than what we anticipated?, Have we ever secured a new job, but later thought; that was not really to our liking?, If you have, imagine what Jesus, felt at the time when he prayed to his Father; He saw his fate and hesitated; but he had to do the will of the Father to set us free from all our sins, and bring us to eternal glory.
(Matthew 26:41) Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
CONCLUSION:
Brethren, trails do come, whether it was predestine or not; but to be able to go through it, we need to pray without ceasing: whether the Lord answers your prayers quickly or not, he knows what is best for you; he will strengthen you through your trails, and tribulations; and will allow you to overcome by his blood.
Child of God, are you in any kind of trails and tribulations today? Have faith in Jesus, and pray; the Father can hear you, and will help you through it, and you shall be glorified with him in eternal glory in Jesus Name! Amen and Amen!
