“Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.” --- Luke 22:42 Was Jesus trying to get out of his mission? It is never wrong to express our true feelings to God. Jesus exposed his dread of the coming trials, but he also reaffirmed his commitment to do what God wanted. The cup he spoke of meant the terrible agony he knew he would endure---not only the horror of the crucifixion but, even worse, the total separation from God that he would have to experience in order to die for the world’s sins. --- Life Application Study Bible notes
