Jesus knew the agony of the cross was waiting, yet He never backed down.

Jesus knew the agony of the cross was waiting, yet He never backed down. In John 12:27, Jesus admitted that His soul was troubled as the crucifixion drew near. But notice His prayer: He did not ask the Father to save Him from that suffering. Instead, He declared that facing the cross was the very purpose He came to earth. He willingly endured the pain because His desire for our eternal salvation was greater than His desire to escape the suffering. How does knowing that Jesus willingly chose the cross for you impact your faith today? Drop your thoughts below. #John12 #PurposeOfChrist #JesusSaves #FaithInAction #PalmBeachLakesChurchOfChrist
