The agony that Jesus experienced in the garden demonstrates His full humanity. He knows what it is to experience the worst that life can throw at us and shows His struggle of being alone to face death for all of us. Taking on all our sin on the cross has to be the heaviest of guilt, shame, and remorse. Yet He surrendered Himself to do what had been planned from the beginning. He surrendered His humanity to what the Divine plan was. May we follow pursuit, surrendering ourselves to Him in gratitude for what He did for us.
“When God gets us alone through suffering, heartbreak, temptation, disappointment, sickness, or by thwarted friendship - when He gets us absolutely alone, and we are totally speechless, unable to ask even one question, then He begins to teach us.” - Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest
