Evening — September 22 — Matthew 26:39

Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.” — Matthew 26:39My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me is the deepest sorrow and perfect submission united in one prayer, because Jesus didn't want the cup of divine wrath but he wanted the Father's will more. He learned obedience through what he suffered and became obedient to the point of death, though he could have called twelve legions of angels. Because he drank that cup, the cup of God's wrath is empty for everyone who believes.
