"Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”
MATTHEW 26:36-38
It is at the cross where the final triumph of Christ Jesus became complete. It is there-in perfection of God's will-Jesus became perfect in us. It is at the cross where Jesus gave his purified spirit to the most high, thus allowing the intercession of our Lord Jesus Christ in our lives. For his spirit alone gives life. Only one triumphed over death, only one man came to redeem. Christ Jesus Lives.
It is the cross that displays triumph, the spirit brings truth. Seek the one who brings love, encouragement and everlasting life.
The Lord displayed great agony at Gethsemane, the type of agony that is difficult to grasp. Let us not misunderstand the purpose of the agony of Jesus Christ. He was literally at the brink of opening the gateway to everlasting life for all mankind. The moment was one in which Jesus was in an agonizing battle as the son of man to maintain perfection as the son of God. Satan was waging a battle in which to say Jesus was not the Savior of the world but rather just an emphatic religious leader that was just a man.
Jesus Christ on the cross is the absolute culmination of perfect triumph for the son of man. When Jesus gave his perfect spirit to God at the cross, it allowed the veil to be cast aside allowing all people to become sons and daughters of God.
