Angels #12

..."Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done."

Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him.

Luke 22:42-43, www.solascriptura.com

Jesus, we know that when You suffered on the cross for our sins that it meant separation from the Father since the Father will not join Himself to sin or sinners. In taking our sin upon yourself, you suffered as we would have had to suffer if it was not for Your sacrifice. Your assumption of our sins accomplished for us what we could never accomplish on our own. There is no sacrifice available to us that will cleanse us our sins except Your shed blood. We are called by God's grace and saved by Your redemptive, sacrificial act.


Father, You sent an angel to Jesus helping Him to endure the pain, the suffering, the separation. Now You tell us that we have angels looking over us helping us in the same way. We truly never walk alone. Bless us abundantly we pray, in Jesus' name, amen.
