Not My Will, But Yours (1 of 7)
Series: Last Words

Mark 14:32-42
INTRODUCTION: We are starting today a study on the Last Words of Jesus from the cross.
During Jesus' crucifixion, the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) all record that, Jesus spoke from the cross. There are seven saying sayings uttered as he was being executed. In these words, we will see the love and compassion of Jesus. We will see the victory of Jesus over death.
But today, I want us to consider one of Jesus' last words before the cross. I want us to look at Jesus' prayer just before he was taken away to be tried, found guilty, and ultimately executed.
I want us to look at the garden of Gethsemane.
Because I don't think the cross of Christ... The death of Jesus... Can make sense to us if we don't first understand the Garden of Gethsemane.

Taylor - ''I am suggesting... that great public victory [on the cross], that unspeakably enormous event we call Calvary, has its source immediately in a private and solitary act in a garden called Gethsemane, where the seed, the essence of the public victory was won in a lonely, secret struggle in prayer.''
Mark 14 - [32] And they went to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, ''Sit here while I pray.'' [33] And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled. [34] And he said to them, ''My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch.'' [35] And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. [36] And he said, ''Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.'' [37] And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, ''Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour? [38] Wat ...
