Choices!!! We are faced with choices every moment of everyday, and we do not always make the right choice. Some choices go unnoticed, while others choices change the direction of our life in significant ways.
Today, we can tell the world via Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, Gowalla, etc.., about the moment by moment choices we make as we upload our mobile status. The Tabloids make millions of dollars a day by sharing with us intimate details concerning choices made by the “Rich & Famous”. It appears that Choices have become a billion dollar industry in our culture .
Today while on the deck, The Master allowed me to reflect on Choices. No, not on all of my stupid choices, but on The Choice Jesus made in the garden some 2,000 years ago as He spent His final moments in prayer. It was there, in the coolness of the evening, and with great agony that Jesus chose the Father's will. "Father, Not My will, but Your will be done."
The Choice Jesus made in the garden, lead him to being betrayed with a kiss, beaten, mocked, nailed to the cross, and to uttering the final words, “Father Forgive them... It is Finnished.”
Today, I invite you to reflect upon The Choice Jesus made that evening in the garden. I invite you to the thought that The Choice Jesus made was for all people. I invite you to contemplate that Jesus understands the challenge of making the correct choice, and His understanding of our Human Condition is the very reason He chose The Father’s will.
It was in the privacy of the garden that Jesus Chose The Father’s will so He could make a way for us all.
Happy Maundy Thursday.
The Choice He made for all people.
