DAY 31
Chasing Jesus - Day 31
Day 31 Scripture:
In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 5:7–10
Prayer Prompt: Source of Salvation
We don’t like to spend time meditating on Jesus physical suffering, but we especially don’t focus often on the time Jesus spent in anguish crying out to the Father that this cup be removed from him. That he would be spared from having to carry out this redemption plan. Jesus knew the Father could save him from death while positioning himself completely under the Father’s authority. The Source of your salvation did not surrender to his flesh in pursuit of his own rescue but surrendered to the Father’s will. Sit in the fullness of Jesus’ obedience. Pray for a heart that is willing to surrender your will, your comfort, your “control” for the greater joy of fellowship with the Father.
