Luke 22:42

"Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done." -The Lord Jesus ChristLuke 22:42

What did it cost? Jesus Christ, obedient even unto death, in His love for us, did what we could not do. Having perfectly fulfilled the Law, He laid down His life for our sin, that we may be imputed His righteousness as He bore our sin and suffered our wrath. Having done this, for we who are in Christ Jesus it may be said:

"There is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus." -Romans 8:1

And I...in all my transgression, having been so fully F O R G I V E N because Christ suffered and died in my place...I am S T A G G E R E D and brought to my knees! Unable to fathom the love of God, the mercy of God, the compassion of God, that at the cross would fall upon me.

I am staggered.

Save me, O God. I am yours. Save this family, for we are Yours. O God, there is none greater and able than You.
