The WHY- For this reason

The WHY- For this reason

John 12:22
“Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name!”

No matter what was happening to Jesus, He never forget the WHY.
John recorded this statement when Jesus was predicting his death. During this time many of the Jews were going over to Jesus’ side because they were believing in Him. The Chief Priests were not happy about the fact that large crowds were going after Jesus, so they designed a plot to kill Him.

Jesus knew what was happening and he knew the time for his death was quickly approaching, so He prayed “Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour.” He knew this hour was going be gruesome, but he soon caught himself, it is for this “REASON”.

Do you realize that YOU were apart of his WHY. The reason he said NO to comfort and YES to horrible death. It was for this reason Jesus endured suffering; he said YES to death so YOU and I can say NO to sickness, NO to hurts, sadness and grief, NO to addictions, NO to disappointments, NO to sin and its power over us and No poverty and lack. They laugh at him – come down and save yourself, what they didn’t realize; he was too busy carrying and saving the world, it wasn’t about him, it was about YOU.

Pin point the reason in your life, and Yes he took care of it. What is your reason for living and fulfilling the dreams in your heart today? The road might be a bit rocky sometimes, but Jesus took the journey so you could enjoy the destination. WHY not let Jesus be the center of your world today? I know you might be saved, but is Jesus really on the throne or are you?

Jesus Loves you!

Advancing the Kingdom of God in the earth!
