Printable version of this week’s devotional.
Read John 12:27-33. The ‘prayer of the hour’ is “ Father, glorify your name.” Jesus turns toward the will of God, and leans into his ministry. Courage has been defined as being afraid, and doing what you ‘have’ to do anyway. The ‘human’ Jesus chooses obedience. “He…lays down his life of his own free will and embraces ‘his hour’ as an expression of his love for God. The ‘hour’ is the ultimate purpose of his ministry, the final revelation of his relationship with God.” [NIB] In imagining this act of love, how can we continue to live ‘our own life’?
