Prayer In the face of the Passion Jeus sought Gid in prayer to fulfill his plan of Salvation
I. Empowering for the Passion (v 32-34)
- Jesus sought God's strength through prayer and exhorted his disciples to do the same. - Jesus prayed in a garden that he potentially frequented along with his 3 closest Disciples. - In the face of great distress Jesus response was to watch and pray. - To watch means to be alert against the enemy and be sensitive to God's leading sometimes it's easy to think of our problems or external things as the enemy but the real enemy'sis our flesh within. - The disciples were not instructed to watch for the betrayer but to resist the fear of the Devil. - Jesus was not only afraid of the physical pain but the bearing of Sin -Many pray let this cup pass away but few pray thy will be done - Jesus showed us how to pray in times of distress and times of calm. Even if you're afraid don't let it stop you from praying.
My prayer life hasn't been good as I'm always looking for the ideal time to pray but there's never an ideal time.
II. Embracing the Passion - Jesus prayer helped strengthen him and face his fate with authority and peace fully willing to give his life. - They captured him in darkness because they expected resistance not knowing that Jesus was not like the other "Messiahs" that were armed rebels. - Isaiah 53: 7-8 was fulfilled. - Look to the Lord's example and experience, to his wrestling in prayer in the face of the passion and you will find the strength to face your own.
