The study of the life of Christ is so important to our spiritual growth. The depthness of his love for us is revealed the more we study the scriptures. He was born into humanity to become the Savior of the world that we may overcome the weaknesses of the flesh. He endured his sufferings to make us free from the weight of sin.
The night in which he was taken prisoner, he and his disciples visited the Garden of Gethsemane. He loved and respected his disciples enough to take them with him to watch and pray. He even shared with them a human emotion, that of sorrow. He was not afraid or ashamed, but took his thoughts about his impending death in prayer. He prayed in agony to the Father, “O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.”
The good news about God’s word is that he does not hide what his people have been through. God is just in all things, he is morally right and fair. He give us a completed picture of what we need to stay connected to his plan. Jesus was an exemplary example of having a willing spirit. The hours to come were difficult. Yet he knew he had to complete the will of the Father. In times of great sorrow, he teaches us to pray without ceasing to the Father. Never doubt the presence of the Father.
Three times he came to the disciples and they were asleep. Our flesh is weak because we are mortal. Our faith will be shaken and we will get a little weary in challenges. But thank God that our spirit is revived when we look at the life of Christ. In him, there is hope of our deliverance. Just as Christ, we remember our love and devotion to please God and that our life has a divine purpose. This is why prayer remains in the atmosphere of people of faith. The need to talk to the Father is always with us. When we start to deal with our problems without consulting him, we give way for the flesh to overrule our spirit.
Prayer, meditation, studying, fasting, praising, and talking about the goodness of the Lord are valuable to remain connected to our indwelling Holy Spirit. When we lack these things, we will succumb to the flesh. We must see the humanity in Christ, so that in our flesh we will cry out to him and allow his Spirit to work in our lives to fulfil the will of our Father.
