If It Dies, It Bears Much Fruit

 "Now my soul is deeply troubled.  Should I pray, 'Father, save me from this hour'? But this is the very reason I came!  Father, bring glory to your name."  John 12:27

Could we not all say those very things at every troublesome moment of our life.  We long, with Christ, to be spared the agony that sin has visited upon us and this world.  But those, too, are the key moments for which we were sent.
