And this is the other thing I want to point out because this is a really powerful verse demonstrating the truth of who God is in the triune God, what we call the Trinity. That the way that God exists, who God is, that God exists in three persons. Three persons, and we use the word persons intentionally because as a person there are separate wills. There is a different power structure and where Jesus is in submission to the Father, the Son is in submission to the Father, you've got a will also being expressed here where he's explicitly saying not my will but thine be done. Now we know that God doesn't have, you know, that God, that the Son's will is not in contradiction to the Father's will, but there is an expressed difference here of wills. They are in unison. God's not schizophrenic in the sense that they're just completely at odds or something like that. However, there is a will that's being done where it's being expressed that hey, not my will but thine. Jesus did always those things that pleased the Father and we see time and time again that there's this great difference. There is no other way for explaining how these scriptures can all fit together and make sense other than the understanding of the Trinity. It really is the only thing that makes sense because we know that there's one God. That's extremely clear from scripture, very clear scriptures. There is one God. There's one Lord, right? There's one God. It's very clear, but then we're looking at also other scriptures that tell us that Jesus is God. We know the Father is God. We know the Holy Ghost is God. You see extremely clear scriptures on that as well. In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, the Word was God. The Word was made flesh and dwell with us, but then we see the Word here in the flesh saying not my will but thine be done. We see distinction as in a person yet still one God and that's what the Trinity teaches and this is an excellent verse to demonstrate that. I don't see how you can read this any other way and say, oh no, but it's still the same will. This wouldn't even make any sense. We can get the secondary application of, well, this is an example for us and it is an example for us, but he wouldn't have to say this the way that he does to leave us just with an example because he could just tell us that. He already gave the example prayer in Matthew chapter 6. This is him personally. This is Jesus Christ personally with, you know, praying to the Father directly, personally and really with with everyone else not around. I mean, they're close to be a comfort to him, but he's by himself. He's doing his own prayer, which he does many, many times in Scripture. See, if everything is just an example, then why does the Bible record him going off into a mountain to pray all alone and being up real late and just praying and it doesn't record exactly what he's saying, but he has his time where he's directly communicating with the Father distinctly.
