"...He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."Obedience...
Must I obey without question? Must I surrender without understanding 'why', Lord? Must I suffer... and count it all joy?
Obey, Lord? Even unto death? This cross... I did not ask for it. I did not take it upon myself to bear.
Is it You, Lord? Have you placed it there?
"And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be my disciple"Whoever does not...cannot?
"If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up the cross, and follow me."How long, Lord?
"He who endures to the end shall be saved"
"Come to Me...and I will give you rest"
"I, even I, am He who comforts you. Who are you that you should be afraid?"
"...you forget the LORD your Maker, Who stretched out the heavens and laid
the foundations of the earth." "I am the LORD, and there is no other; I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things"
Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love...I will never leave you nor forsake you.
