Don’t be with your plans. Jesus and the Garden of Gethsemane . Beads of sweat as thick as blood droplets ran down Jesus’ face. Don’t worry. It is also referenced in John 18:1 and Luke 22:40. Maybe you’re thinking of your Community Group or a friend you can call. The arrest of Christ occurred even though it was contrary to both Roman and Jewish law. Prayer is going towards Christ instead of away from him. We’re teaching my son to say “Dada.” Even though Jesus knows his Dad is going to turns his back on him Jesus still trusts that his Dad is still good and loves him and so can we. Would you do that?

Colossians 1:19-20 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. Jack and Greg need each other’s strength. Jesus Embraces Sadness & Fear. Get together with them this week and pray with them. he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth Matthew gospel says Jesus “fell with his face to the ground and prayed” (Matt 26:39; Mark 14:35). Pray for our Father’s will above our own. It is also referenced in John 18:1 and Luke 22:40. They need to pray so that when it happens they stay strong.

When he hears the rustling of soldiers approaching, he decides to face whatever comes next. Have you ever faced a trial or temptation or test that you didn’t understand?

We have all wanted God to get us out of something. They still think Jesus has come to overthrow the Romans and set up an earthly rule.

Take a look, Trump is impeached, and we’re leaving the church. God tests us so that we will know what is in our own hearts. I want to wake up at 5 am each morning and devote two hours to prayer and Bible reading. And I promise you that once you enter into relationship with him you will discover he has so much good in store for you. Don’t be with your kingdom. Tonight, Jesus is inviting us like he did the disciples to just be with him, to resist the temptation of all those other things and just be present with him. Prayer defeats temptation. In the garden Jesus was preparing to drink our curse upon himself.

That’s why we pray.

Matthew 6:9b-10 says, “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Right now Jesus is once again modeling how to pray. These are his inner core, his closest companions.

So they try a different approach. We should also pray what we desire, but always with a spirit of “not my will, but yours be done.” Pray for our Father’s will above our own. This is because He prayed at some distance from His disciples (Matthew 26:36 - 45). Maybe some of you love Harry Potter, and maybe some of you hate it or have never read the books. It’s as if I’m dying. Are we willing to pray like Jesus prayed? . Don’t let me get my way if it’s not what you want.”, “Father, if it’s your will please protect our church and our ministries as we serve you here and abroad, but if it’s your will for us to undergo hardship for your name’s sake may that happen.”, “Father, please cure me of my physical illness or my mental illness or the thorn in my flesh… unless it’s your will for me to have those things so that I can glorify you through my weakness.”. Praying together can defeat alienation and disunity. It matters that Jesus shed his blood for you. Jeremiah 25:15-16 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from my hand this cup filled with the wine of my wrath and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it.

What Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane reminds us of what he taught us to pray in the Lord’s Prayer. On his knees, Jesus doesn’t look like Superman. The Garden of Gethsemane is specifically referenced, by name, only twice in the King James Bible translation (Matthew 26:36, Mark 14:32). Through praying together Jack and Greg connect with and support each other and also connect spiritually with Christ. When we’re at our lowest we can together become strong. The story of the Garden of Gethsemane can be found in Matthew 26:36-56, Mark 14:32-52, Luke 22:39-53, and John 18.

Jesus knows my spirit may be committed to following him, but my body is weak. Jesus is looking into the future to what they are about to face—Judas’ betrayal and his trial and crucifixion. Maybe a little too human for our tastes.

He will come and wash away all of your sins.

We can trust that as our Heavenly Dada loves us and knows what’s best for us. The other gospel accounts tell us he’s speaking to Peter, James, and John.

Last week in Luke 19:28-44 Jesus paraded into Jerusalem at the Triumphant Entry.

He’d known the Father’s love forever. Instead, he utters words we might say. I gave my blood for selfish reasons but Christ gave his for selfless reasons. It means it’s okay to feel sad, afraid, and lonely because Jesus felt those things too.

He knows the agony he’s about to endure, and he’s not looking at it through “holy-colored” lenses. Please take this cup of suffering away from me. Jesus doesn’t ask his disciples or us to pray by ourselves, but to pray together. Luke was a doctor, and he wanted us to know the physical manifestation of Jesus’ anxiety.

These passages give a glimpse of the humanness of our Savior. Furthermore, in the case of Jesus' speaking in Gethsemane, it is extremely unlikely that all of his words spoken in prayer (John 17) would have been heard by the disciples even if they had remained awake.

But that doesn’t even begin to compare to the cup Jesus drank. We get wrapped up with building our own kingdoms when Christ is doing something so much better. (NIV®). If you haven’t can I encourage you to repent of your sins tonight and put your faith in Christ Jesus? When they arrive, Jesus takes his three closest disciples — Peter, James, and John — aside. When Jesus get’s there he turns to them and says, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” (Luke 22:40) And then he goes a little way away from them, kneels down, and begins to pray.

How big is it? Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane (garden) .

They’re not praying and they should be. When we pray together we can defeat isolationism.

This children’s church lesson about Gethsemane could also be modified and used as a Sunday School lesson. We’re doing this with the hopes that this passage will sink in deeper and be more life-changing. In Mark’s gospel Jesus cries out in the garden “Abba, Father!” (Mark 14:36) Abba is like calling out “Dad!” It’s personal and relational. He asks his Father for another way, but when the Father says no, he accepts his decision and even prays for it. Let’s get together in groups and pray for the items on the list. You would think that in order to grow that high and live that long those trees must have pushed away other trees so that they have plenty of sunlight and water.

      He brings one down, he exalts another. (NIV®). Have you received his blood as payment for your sins?

When they drink it, they will stagger and go mad because of the sword I will send among them.”” (NIV®), Psalm 75:7-8 Then he returned and found the disciples asleep. It was a garden filled with olive trees.) Jesus added, “Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.” (v. 36). Stay here and keep alert.” (Mark 14:34, CEB). Leviticus 17:11 For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life. It means Jesus is our strength when we’re weak. 44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.

He will for the first time ever feel completely isolated, alone, and condemned. We see the fear in Superman’s eyes as he gazes at the glowing piece of green rock. The scene is memorable because of how vulnerable our hero becomes. Would you just be with Jesus tonight as we sing and worship and pray?

But every time he did, he would find them asleep.

I’m far too weak.
