I've written a devotional for my pastor's sermon series, "Who do you say I am?" today over at Arcola Church's website. .Start here and click over through the link. Have a great Wednesday, Friends!
Scripture:
"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done. An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground." - Luke 22:42-44
Devotional:
Often, in discussions regarding the humanity and divinity of Jesus, I find that Christians can become a little anxious. I've noticed an almost apologetic tone that comes in conversations about the human emotions we see in Jesus. I suppose we have some fear that in recognizing these qualities we might appear to lack the appropriate reverence for His holiness. We are quick to follow any acknowledgement of Jesus as a man with the declarative reminders that He was also sinless, powerful, righteous, and perfect.
Absolutely appropriate to remember, of course, because all of those things are absolutely true. However, I think if we neglect to dig into the human qualities that our Lord displays, we will miss out on the fullest joy and hope that a relationship with Christ can provide.
