“While Jesus was here on earth, he offered prayers and pleadings, with a loud cry and tears, to the one who could rescue him from death. And God heard his prayers because of his deep reverence for God.”
Hebrews 5:7 NLT
This scripture tells us God heard Jesus’ prayers, and yet, obedience was required over love and compassion. We could not say God abandoned Jesus in Gethsemane, however, He did when Jesus became sin for us. We know He did because Jesus cried out, “My God My God why have You forsaken me?”(Matt 27:46) we all know what rejection feels like, especially from a loved one. It hurts deeply. Jesus was rejected for us, He bore our pain and suffering.
Today in worship I imagined myself with Jesus in Gethsemane.
I am here my Lord,
My prayers are for You,
You must go forward,
I will go with you.
May I carry Your cloak,
May I soothe your brow.
My prayers lift you,
I remind you of your prize.
All souls will worship,
With songs of honour
Grateful heart will bow,
All heaven will fill with Your praise:
Worthy, worthy, worthy is the lamb.
Think about Him now! Amen!
