Thy Will Be Done

42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
Our Beloved Savior was crossing the brook Kidron. David
crossed this brook bare-foot and weeping, when fleeing from Absalom (2 Sam.
The Justice of God was violated by man sinning against God. The Son of God came to satisfy the justice of God as he represented his people. Is there any way that God can take this fierce punishment that is going to come upon him as a man our Savior was brought to the knees and he prayed. The greatest words that he ever uttered was nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
There is a great intimacy of love between the Father and the Son. How if the Father felt sorry for his Son and changed his mind and said, “Yes, my Son, I will remove the cup from you.” But Jesus said, “Not my will but thine be done.” Oh beloved see the love of God to the believing sinner! Aren’t you glad we have a God that never compromise his word, never change his word. We earthly parents discipline our children also we break our promises, we change our minds but it is impossible for God to contradict and to compromise. If God felt sorry for his Son and changed his mind you and are racing towards hell. Our Lord was obedient to God’s will.
What a lesson we can learn my beloved. When your spirit is entirely resigned to God’s will, he will bless you. Probably not with the worlds riches but make you rich inside with maturity and holiness.
Selfishness is the root of “my will.” Therefore put to death selfishness.
Ps 119:36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.

will. But Jesus in the
How many love the Lord in good times but in persecution and hard times they have no love for the Lord at all. Yes, bad times are painful to the flesh, many will pray and say, and “Lord get me out of this.” They forget to say, “Not my will Lord but your will be done.”
How about Abraham when God told him to sacrifice his son
Isaac whom he loved. Joseph in
