The Gospel passage from St. John this Sunday is a scene in the days leading up to Jesus's Crucifixion. Although Jesus is troubled, He knows that His Crucifixion is the purpose for which God sent Him, and by which God will be glorified. He suffered greatly, as Hebrews writes, and became the source of salvation who also submit themselves to the will of God for them.
We submit ourselves to God, know that in this New Covenant, established by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, God cleanses our hearts from sin, and puts His law within us, on our hearts, as we truly hear Him speak. Indeed, we experience such closeness with Him, and with purified hearts, follow in His way, paying whatever price we must, so that we may accomplish His purposes for us, and glorify Him.
