Will of God...
Will of God...
This is what Jesus was seeking and it was indeed his prayer in the most distressful and dreaded times of his life, foreseeing his possible ignominious death preceded by his indescribable passion like at Gethsemane and at crucifixion.
His mother, Mary was his model as she accepted the humanly humiliating pregnancy before marriage as God's will.
In his only prayer, 'Our Father...' he taught us to pray for the 'coming of His Kingdom' as well as the realization of His will.
This will is nothing other than the primordial order, figuratively presented as the 'paradise', the garden of Eden. That would be the status of 'God's Kingdom'...
This primordial order, paradise was lost for humanity only as the rest of the creation is enjoying it, in spite of man's atrocious and avaricious plundering of nature to his own and unfortunately the helpless other creatures.
This was seemingly caused by his attempt at eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge! Thereafter one after another fratricide and other sins/disorders gradually begun to grow to make a hell out of the paradise...
That's why the call to go back to the sources, original blessedness... For this conversion is a requirement which Jesus demanded for making us worthy of the 'Kingdom of God' which is at hand and amidst us...
