Take This Cup

Jesus didn't exactly want to take the cup. "If it be possible, let this cup pass from me."

If it be possible.

But it wasn't possible. That cup was God's way of providing life and salvation for His people. 

"Nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will."

Nevertheless. 

He took it for God's sake and for our sake. That we could be restored to the Father. 

Not as I will.

I want my will, my way. But, alas, I cannot always have my way.

As you will. 

And, dear Father, Your will is always best. 

So, I guess, I'll just take this cup.
