Introduction
John 1: 29: The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
Psalm 62: 8: Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
Exodus 12: 13: The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.
John 5: 30: By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.
Matthew 26: 38: “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,” he said to them. “Stay here and keep watch.”
Matthew 26: 39: Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
1 Peter 2: 24: “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”
Romans 8: 32: He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all - how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Father; not my will, but, your will be done! God is Righteous and Just. When humanity sinned He could have allowed humanity to die; the consequence of disobeying God is death. God so loved his created beings, us, that He sent His Son to die instead of us. Jesus the Son of God, in human form, was overwhelmed by the weight of our sins but, nevertheless He obediently carried out the will of His Father. The final death will pass over you because you have chosen to accept Jesus as your personal Saviour from sin and, because He carried out the will of His Father you can look forward to eternal life in their Kingdom.
