John 12:27

John 12:27 says, Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say?  Father, save Me from this hour:  but for this cause came I into this hour.  Jesus was taking on the sins of the world, so it is natural that His soul would be troubled.  When sin enters our life, our soul should be troubled.  When we attempt to make Jesus more God than man, we are making Him less than what He was.  He was fully human, subject to all the same temptations we are, but without giving in to them once.  He could look to no one for answers except the Father.  When we are in our deepest despair, we need to look to God for the answers.  Jesus knew He couldn't ask to be saved from Hie coming death, burial, and resurrection, because that is why He came.  If we know God has called us for a particular purpose, we don't need to pray that we won't have to follow, even if it leads us to death for God's glory.  Verse twenty-eight adds, Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. Jesus said, "Father, glorify thy name."  Jesus might have been troubled in His soul, but He never wavered in His determination.  We may be troubled as we follow Him, but we should never waiver in our dedication to God.  In the same verse, God responded.  He said, in a voice from heaven, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."  His name was glorified by the birth and life of Jesus and would be glorified again by His death on the cross and resurrection as Lord of all.  When we have doubts in our Christian life, we need to simply turn to God in prayer and listen for His answer.  We can always be sure that He will comfort and assure us.
