TSUNAMI OF SIN

Matt 26:[36] Then Jesus came with them to a place called GETHSEMANE, … [38] Then He said to them, "My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me." Luke 22:44 And being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground.
DEVOTE:
What Christ experienced here was intense, mortifying grief. A score needed to be settled, and He had come for that very purpose: "Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, 'Father, save Me from this hour'? But for this purpose I came to this hour.” (John 12:27) That score was the tsunami of humanity’s sin against our Holy Creator that demanded the inevitable wrath of Justice! So, “God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf” (2 Corinthians 5:21), and Jesus put Himself in harm’s way for you and I!
We have no idea what that must have felt like for Him, simply because we are not pure. But Purity was about to be defiled, and executed in judgment! Sweating blood? No surprise! Hebrews 5:7 says, “He offered up prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His piety.” Isaiah 53:11 says, “As a result of the anguish of His soul, He will see it and be satisfied”.
Gethsemane is a pattern-principle for the believer - a will-definer. The place(s) in our walk where we resign to God’s will, and pray, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will." (Matthew 26:39) We don’t short-circuit suffering in this life – we fellowship with it! (Phil 3:10)
PRAY
Father, “Although Jesus was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered.” (Hebrews 5:8) Please translate my suffering into obedience.
