Obedience to the Father’s Will
Lord Jesus, In your Last Week on
earth, U Prepared the disciples
for the Last Days by telling them
to take up their cross (M8:34).
You performed startling miracles
including transfiguration (M9:2)
and urged them to Have Faith in
God and not doubt (M11:22-23).
U taught the most Impt teaching
to love the Lord wholeheartedly
and to love others (M12:30-31).
And you prophesied earthquakes,
famines, lawlessness (Mark 13:8);
gospel spread to all nations (v10);
severe persecutions before you in
your mercy shortened it (v11-20);
false prophets, cosmic signs just
before your coming in the clouds
to gather your elect (v21-27). And
urge watchfulness & dependence
on God, You said My words will
not pass away (Mark 13:28-37).
Lord, having thoroughly prepared
the disciples, your actions in the
Final Day on earth shows you are
Fully Obedient to the Father’s Will
to Give Yr Live as ransom (M10:45)
At the Last Supper, U said one of
u who eats with me will betray me

the intense suffering and yet You
went to Gethsemane to pray: Not
what I will but what You will (v36).
You chose to surrender to the
Father’s will in loving obedience.
