Drawing Closer: An Everyday Guide for Lent

DAY 23 OF 40

Day 23 - The Ultimate Surrender

Imagine Jesus on the night before the crucifixion. He knows what is about to happen, and He knows why it must happen, but in His humanity, He still hurts.

Are we quick to forget that Jesus was a person like us? In this intense moment, we see Him ask God if there is any other way, though He knows there isn’t.

Perhaps we have this interaction to remind us that it was costly for Jesus to be our sacrifice. Yet, He still chose to surrender - even to the point of a painful, humiliating death and spiritual separation from God.

Spend some time reflecting on how Jesus felt in His moment of surrender. Thank Him for his sacrifice and ask God to help you surrender your own will to Him.
