So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me?” (John 18:11 NKJV)
Jesus Christ Himself unconditionally surrendered to God's will. Being His servant, isn't it just right to do the same? He could have let Peter fight for Him while He tries to escape but He did not. Jesus knew the exact meaning of Jeremiah 29:11.
I remember Pastor Bong Gonzales' teaching on obedience:
"It is easy to obey when what you're asked to do is something of your advantage. The real test of obedience is finding yourself still doing what you were asked to do even if it is against your will provided that you are not disobeying God."
It is sometimes hard to let ourselves just obey God and do His will especially when it is against our own definition of pleasure but I want to be as obedient as Jesus Christ... confident that no matter what happens along the way, the end of the journey is always the sweetest victory.
