“Even My own familiar friend in whom I trusted, who ate My bread, has lifted up his heel against Me” (Psalms 41:9).
My children, this day I was betrayed by My own. Yes, My children whom I loved and cared for, betrayed Me. Those whom I fed and guided betrayed Me. I was put to shame. Though I loved and gave everything and revealed everything, they did not realize My love. They were not prepared to be vigilant for Me. Slumber was sweet for them when I was in agony.
I came to do the will of My Father. Being obedient to My Father was much sweeter than the agony that was ahead. Doing the perfect will of My father is what I preferred. I submitted wholly to My Father’s will. The torture was unbearable, which I already knew. During the torment, I was very much in flesh. I was man and not God.
First and foremost, I was wounded by the betrayal of Judas; later, the men who were close to Me fled from Me. They were with Me all through those three years, yet they left Me alone. They were also very much in the flesh and were tempted.
To do the Father’s will, one should have strong willpower. One has to surrender wholly to Him. And be prepared to face anything and everything. I was not forsaken by My Father. He was with Me all through the suffering. He allowed it because it is written that I must die for the redemption of the sins of every man.
Be brave like Me. Be courageous like Me. When you are prepared to do My Father’s will: nothing that is contrary will trouble you. My focus was on the mission, and I accomplished it.
I submitted Myself as the Lamb of Sacrifice. When I came here, I knew that I was to be slaughtered as the Lamb of Sacrifice. I was crucified as the Eternal Sacrifice.
When a lamb is slaughtered, it dies immediately. I was crucified. I was hanging on the cross for six hours.
My children, I had to undergo this in order to save you. I suffered for you so that you need not and will not suffer. You are mine. I am thine.
My children, I love you for you remember My agony and suffering. I understand that you feel it. My blessings are abundant on you.
My children, I have conquered the evil. Be of good cheer.
