B5-39-Our Love Should Be For God

. Many others have been crucified before Him and after Him. During the Roman Empire, it was a normal execution process. So Jesus was not afraid of the physical pain but it’s one thing that He has never ever tasted in His entire life. He never knew sin. His struggle was the struggle to take sin. I mean He is so holy. Sin to Him is awful. His struggle was to take sin upon Him. Something that turns His entire being against what He wants. That was His struggle when He was praying. He never wanted sin but every time He looked at that cup, He saw you and I. That cup of salvation for us. Every time He looks at it, it represents all of creation that has fallen into sin. Finally love won. He loves us so much that He would take that cup and drink it. Love has stickability. When you love you love to the end. What a lot of people call love that is temporary. It has never been God’s love. When you love, you love right to the end. He saw all of us there and He took that cup and drank it. He was determined to become sin for you and I. When He went back into prayer to see all His disciples, everyone of His disciple was sleeping; there was no one who encouraged Him. When the Lord took the cross He had to take it alone. Now Jesus has a cross for each one of our life in the sense of His will but His yoke will be easy and His burden will be light. One of the most difficult things for a person to do is to die to selfishness. Jesus Christ when He had prayed, the moment He finished Judas led all the soldiers to Him. When all the soldiers came, they took him but just before they took him, His disciples tried to fight and Jesus asked them to put away the sword. Matthew 26: 53 “Or do you think that I cannot now pray to the Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels?” In the Old Testament, one angel could slay a whole army. He had at His disposal twelve legions if He wanted to. The Lord spoke and said, put away the sword. It tells us something. When they took Jesus, they tied Him up and led Him to Caiaphas the high priest. PLEASE REPLY TO MY EMAIL AT DJWELLS97@YAHOO.COM
