It's all laid out in the raw. Gethsemane is where Jesus is at the crossroads, and we hear the Son's prayer (Mark 14:32-52). "Abba, Father," He said, "everything is possible for You. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what You will."
Oh, it almost hurts your ears to hear this intimacy. It's the only recorded time Jesus says"Abba, Father'. And His Pappa or Daddy has to say "No" in unthinkable love to His precious deeply grieved Son.
The unthinkable love - the "No" to Jesus - is so you and I can hear "Yes". ("For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God." II Corinthians 1:20).

Lord, may we rejoice today in Your "Yes" and be forever grateful for the price that was paid. We love You.
