Like Drops of Blood

This picture made me think of this scripture. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. Luke 22:44 In the Olive grove called Gethsemane, Jesus expressed in prayer His true feelings. He knew separation from the Father and extreme suffering was ahead of Him. He was about to bear the penalty of everyone’s sins. In terrible agony He prayed repeatedly if what was ahead could be taken away. But at the same time Jesus was committed to the Father’s will…“Yet not my will, but yours be done.” Luke 22:42 I’m so thankful He kept going and didn’t run away from the cross. I bet you are too!
