“… the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?” Jn 18:11
These words of Jesus were greater than the calming of seas and the raising of the dead. Prophets and the apostles could work wonderous miracles, but they could not always do and suffer the will of the Father! To do and suffer (sacrifice) in God’s will is till the highest form of faith, and sublime Christine achievement. To have a sympathizing/merciful God we must have a “suffering Savior.” One cannot do good unto others without a cost of sacrifice, that’s the price (the cup of which we drink from) we pay to do the will of the Father. If Paul had not had his thorn in the flesh we would've missed much of the Fathers mercy we see penned in his letters.
He who would be a helper to God’s will, must first be a suffer to it… HSAY
