From an early age, we can see the natural tendency of kids to focus on themselves, which unfortunately, often continues on into middle school and high school. We selfishly want everything to be about us and go our way. But Jesus models the exact opposite attitude. Even when He knew death was coming, He surrendered His own will and submitted to the Father because He knew the bigger picture: spending eternity with us.
Take some time today to reflect on what it must have been like for Jesus to let go of His own will and say yes to God’s plan, even when He knew pain and suffering were coming. Thank Jesus for saying yes to God’s will so that we can have a relationship with him today.
