Let Him Love You Into Wholeness
As we remember Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem, I want us to look beyond the crowds and the palm branches and focus on one truth: He knew what was coming.
He knew the suffering He would endure. He knew the betrayal, the trial, the scourging, and the agony of the cross. He knew the weight of humanity’s sin would rest fully on His shoulders. And still, for the joy set before Him—He endured it (Hebrews 12:2).
Jesus knew that God had sent him into the world to die on the cross and save sinners. The last week of his earthly life was heart-wrenching and painful, but he endured it for us. Jesus asked God if there was a different plan, not wanting to be forsaken by his Father, but he still endured. He endured the shame of the cross for the joy set before him, which is us. Thank you for joining us today. We pray that today's journey through Christ's prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane encourages you and gives you hope to remain faithful.
