"Verily, Verily I say unto you ,except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone; but if it die it bringeth forth much fruit". Here is Jesus at the end of His earthly ministry, on his way to the grave and he said his soul is troubled. But for this hour he was sent, for He was the only way to redeem lost man back to a Holy God. For this purpose he came into the world. On His way to the grave He went through something's for our behalf. He was met with conflicts and confrontations, he was alienated, persecuted, and rejected, yet he endured to the grave for our salvation. Look what Jesus did on His way to the grave.
On His way to the grave he glorified the Father. He gave sight to blind eyes, so now man could see that he was lost and in need of a savior. He had put hearing in deaf ears ,so man could hear what thus said the Lord. He put speaking in the mouth of the dumb, so man could share the good news of the gospel. He put strength in the legs of the lame, so man could stand firm on God's word and walk in His righteousness. He called the dead back to life, so now man could live in a newness of life as he was no longer dead in sin. On His way to the grave Jesus paved the way for lost man to be found, to be saved and to live in eternal glory. Jesus willingly laid down His life that we might know his love, receive his mercy and live in His grace. Jesus obedient unto death that we might be obedient unto Life everlasting, all on His way to the grave. Jesus died that we might have life and life more abundantly.
All that Jesus went through was for our good ,not his. He was whipped for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. On His way to the grave and Jesus saw you, and loved you, and he died for you.
