Bacaan tahunan: Judges 10-12

Have you gripped with fear the very heart, restless, it feels gundah-very want to scream? More or less emotional upheaval like that of the Lord Jesus before the day he disalib, which translates as: "my anxious heart" (the BUS), "I am the storm-tossed [Hurricane menerjangku]" (The Message), "My soul is deeply troubled [my soul is restless]" (NLT).
Jesus knows "has arrived it is time" father would declare his glory (v. 23), defeating the ruler of the world, i.e. the Devil (verse 31), and bring all men come to him (paragraph 32). However, that means he must suffer and stumblingblock (v. 33). What would you ask if it is in the position of Jesus? Ask for extra strength? A miracle from heaven? Jesus knows exactly to which he sent to the world, mempermuliakan the father in his life gave way. And, He was obedient unto death. His prayer, not ask exempt from tough situations, not even the extra strength to survive, but rather that the father mempermuliakan himself through his obedience, that's what's pleasing to the father (v. 27-28).
As the father has sent him, as did Jesus has sent us who have saved him into this world (see John 5: 18-20). Satan is powerless and the world cannot quibble when the presence of the sons of God to make him more and more known and praised. How one can see the glory of God through: conflict in the household, jobs, savings are thinning, and a variety of difficult situations that He let happen in our lives today? -ELS
