Spiritual Vitamin: "And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet no as I will, but as You will." Matthew 26:39
Reflect: Try to imagine the cup the Father holds out to Jesus. Think about the apathy and rebellion of the entire human race of every generation represented in that cup. See the kind of sinfulness you encounter daily in your world- the violence, hatred, immorality, greed, etc. Write a prayer of thanksgiving to Jesus that He loved you and that He loved the Father enough to obey. (adapted from Tricia McCary Rhodes, Contemplating the Cross, pg. 32
