Mark 14:43-52
Let's open our Bibles together to Mark 14. Last week, we looked at Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane for three hours. He passionately and repeatedly asked His Father for one thing: ''Daddy, rescue Me from this hour. Daddy, take this cup from Me. I don't want to drink it. Daddy, if there is another way to save the world, and forgive sin, and make people right with You other than Me going to the cross let's do that instead.''
Jesus, in this Garden, was being tempted by Satan just like Adam in the first Garden to walk His own path and go after His own will. Adam said, ''My will not Thy will be done.''

It was full of the Father's wrath, punishment, and judgment against their sin. He would drink it and receive it in Himself so that we wouldn't have to. That's what Paul is referring to in 2 Cor. 5:21: ''For God made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.''
In Gethsemane, the Lion of Judah is now the Lamb of God in the hands of His Sacrificer, the Heavenly Father. Jesus was so full of sorrow and fear that He feared He would die in the Garden before He ever got to the cross. He shouts: 'Daddy, if there is any other way to save sinners, let this cup pass from Me.' But the cup does not pass. Why? Because there is no other way for people to be saved, sin to be forgiven, and people to have eternal life than through death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
After three hours of fervent prayer, He gets off His face, stands to His feet, gathers His sleeping disciples, and resolutely points His face toward the cross. He says, 'My betrayer is finally here.'' Jesus resists the ...
