Be encouraged! Jesus, our Lord and Savior’s journey to the cross in order to do His Father’s will was very painful.
For God’s plan of salvation to manifest, it was necessary for Jesus to suffer and endure His crucifixion on the cross at Calvary.
2 Corinthians 5:21 tells us that God made Christ who knew no sin to [judicially] be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we would become the righteousness of God [that is, we would be made acceptable to Him and placed in a right relationship with Him by His gracious lovingkindness].
Although Jesus’ journey to the cross was indeed difficult and lonely (he was abandoned by men, but the Father was with him), it was necessary. Only he could make the journey. Only he could walk that road and drink the cup that the Father had given him to drink. He was uniquely called, uniquely anointed, and uniquely qualified to suffer and die and rise again on the third day for your sins and mine, and for all who trust in him in every age, and in every place, so that SALVATION is brought to us through Jesus’ finished work on the cross.
LET US PRAY
Jehovah God, we give You glory and adoration for the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Thank You for Your never-ending grace that was extended to us. Empower us to respond to Your love towards us by doing Your will no matter how hard it is. Help us to focus on Jesus Christ as our example in doing what was necessary to obey You will. In Jesus’mighty name, I pray. Amen 
.
Have a blessed day
