Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus does not want to go to the cross. Jesus asks God here to deliver him from the horror that awaits him. Jesus has other plans, other desires for his life. In the end, Jesus does not want to be handed over, to be betrayed, to be tortured, to be crucified. In the end, though, Jesus does go through all of that. Jesus is handed over, he is betrayed, he is tortured, he is crucified. Jesus goes thorugh all of this because he knows we have no other options. Jesus knows this is the only way for us to be saved. And so he goes to the cross. He goes to the cross because he loves us and he wants us to have life. Even though he had other ideas, Jesus went to the cross to save us, to give us life, because he loves us. God bless you.
