Not the birth. Not the death. Not the resurrection.
What then?
There is no resurrection........................ without the death.
There is no death...................... without the suffering.
There is no suffering................without the willingness to do so.
The pivotal moment may very well be the moment in the garden of Gethsemane when Jesus said, not my will, but yours be done.
In that moment, he became willing to suffer, willing to die, and able to be resurrected.
Jesus entire life and ministry pivoted around his willingness to suffer for a greater cause. Yet we Christians pray that God will bless Grandma and Grandpa and Mommy and Daddy and everything else that we want. Its like we are saying, not your will but mine be done.
If you want to find the Holy Spirit at work in your life, if you want to find some power in your life, make your every day prayer this....
Not my will, but thine be done. It was a pivotal point in Jesus life, it can be a pivotal point in ours as well.
It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
