there is a great desire within all living things to continue living
the beating of a heart is the universal drum all living creatures march to
Jesus had a heart like ours
it beat like ours and he also wanted his human heart to continue beating
read his prayer in gethsemane and you can't deny this
but his love for the Father was greater than his love for his own beating heart
his love for us was greater than his need to survive
somehow, even in his great struggle, he knew the cup he must drink was vital for the Father's work
he gave himself for our hope
his beating heart came to an abrupt stop on the tree of life with the words
"it is finished"
we have so much to thank the Father, Son, and Spirit for in this moment.
