The Power to Carry Our Cross // John 12:27-28a

In our text this morning we find a collision between the horror of Jesus’ assignment and His love for the Father. Knowing what carrying out the will of the Father was going to cost Him, Jesus cried out, “Save Me from this hour.” But knowing it was for this purpose that He came, Jesus’ love for the Father overcame His inner anguish. In these verses we get some light on where Jesus found the strength to carry out the Father’s will and in doing so we find incredible strength to carry our own cross.
