Jesus knew
what was going to happen to Him. God the Father had shared His plan. Suffer,
die, be raised from the dead. Sounds pretty straight forward—but incredibly
painful. Jesus said… plainly that it
was necessary…. Necessary. Yes. He had to suffer—to be the Passover
Lamb for humankind. To take on all the sin of the world. He is awesome…knowing
what He knew…and loving us all enough to do what was necessary. Necessary. What was required of Him by the Father…what
was expected as an obedient Son. Necessary.
For our salvation. His journey took Him to the Cross…and He tried to tell His
disciples plainly that it was necessary
for Him to go to Jerusalem…to the Cross. Are you listening to Jesus…telling
you the same thing? It was necessary.
Be thankful and humbly grateful for what Jesus did for you. I am.
Prayer – Thank You Jesus, that You were
obedient and that You fulfilled Your Father’s promise to be the sacrificial lamb
for mankind. Plainly, it was necessary—although it was not what I would have
chosen for You…but it was God the Father’s plan and You followed it. Thank You.
