Save
Jesus assumes, as it were, the fall of man, lets himself into man’s fallenness, prays to the Father out of the lowest depths of human dereliction and anguish. He lays his will in the will of the Father’s: “Not my will but yours be done.” He lays the human will in the divine. He takes up all the hesitation of the human will and endures it. It is this very conforming of the human will to the divine that is the heart of redemption.
