You Were His Prayers

Then Jesus went about a stone’s throw away from them. He kneeled down and prayed. Luke 22:43

This was what we learnt in Sunday School a few lessons ago. This was the first time the kids learnt in the Garden of Gethesamane, how human Jesus was. Our Lord prayed. He prayed the longest and most anguish prayer ever in his life time on earth. 

But have we thought that the final prayer of Jesus was about you? About us? His final pain was for you. His final passion was for you. Before He went for the cross, Jesus spoke to the Father and you were in His prayers.

And God couldn’t turn his back on you. He couldn’t because he saw you, and one look at you was all it took to convince Him. Right there in the middle of the world which isn’t fair. He saw you cast into a river of life you didn’t request. He saw you betrayed by those you love. He saw you with a body which gets sick and a heart which grows weak………..

On the eve of the cross, Jesus made His decision. He would rather go to hell for you than go to heaven without you. 

For that, He is worthy to be my Lord, my best Friend, my Saviour. Will you allow this great Saviour to come into your life?
