Home work: John 17
Jesus has great compassion for us even in his great agony!
Jesus is oh so compassionate!
What temptation was he asking to pray against? Could be doubt, or to run from Jesus, or denying they knew Him.
Do I understand the the compassion that Jesus has for me? No matter what I am struggling with Jesus is fully aware and loves me through it all. The deepest love that i have only felt in fleeting moments on earth.
2 corth 1:3
In in my sin Christ has compassion and says rise and pray again
v42: we see his fully human side pray. That the cup will not pass onto him. and yet he said , not my will but yours be done!
Why was he so distressed? is it fear of pain and suffering? The humiliation, dying naked?
It was having to become the sin and be separated from the Father and forsaken by the Father. And yet what does he say: But not my will but yours be done.
He could have called legions of angels to defend him. This is also one of the things that Satan tempted Jesus with.
isa 53:4
We have a high priest that sympathizes with me!
- He understands our pain and suffering
- Jesus in his most desperate hour he prays
- Do we say not my will but yours
