As Thou Wilt

What agonizing pain Jesus Christ endured to do the perfect will of our Heavenly Father.  While on earth, He healed the sick, made the lame to walk, cast out demons. and even raised the dead.  But, the main purpose of Jesus' birth in Bethlehem was the wondrous work done on the cross of Calvary.  The Lord sent His only begotten Son to die in our place.  Jesus took on the sins of the entire world.  He would have gone to the cross for just one soul, this was the will of the Father.  Matthew 26:39 states:  "And He...fell on His face, and prayed, saying, O My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless not as I will, but as Thou wilt".  Christ took the cup--the cup of grief--that was the horrendous pain of three black hours of separation from the Father as the sin of the entire world lay upon Him.  Not only did He suffer the agonizing physical pain of a broken, bruised and bleeding body hanging on a shameful cross, but He suffered excruciating emotional torment and grief from that separation from the Father as He became the propitiation for our sins.  Before we dare to utter words of "I will " or "I will not", let us remember Christ's perfect willingness to go to the cross for us,  and thus say ourselves, "O my Father, as Thou wilt."

Twelve Legions of Angels

Who can teach us more about the perfect will of God the Father, concerning our lives, than His own Son, Jesus Christ?  Philippians 2:8 says, "And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."  Even the death of the cross?  Do we, these frail specks of dust that we are, comprehend the death of the cross?  Jesus, in His submission to the Heavenly Father endured an astonishing, agonizingly cruel death for the sins of mankind to accomplish the perfect will of the Father.  He died on the cross to take on the sins of all mankind, providing us with redemption through the shedding of His precious blood, thus doing the perfect will of the Father.  But, Jesus, being joint heirs with the Father, asked Peter in Matthew 26:53 "thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and He shall presently give Me more than twelve legions of angels?"  He could have called down all of Heaven to stop His death on the cross.  But He did not.  He had come to do the will of the Father.  That He did in absolute submission.  Will you acknowledge your sin and accept Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour and as He did, seek for your life, the perfect will of the Heavenly Father?  Orginally written in July of 2003 by denise.  Until We Meet Again...
