Jesus' Passion and Prayers
Lessons from Gethsemane to Calvary
Dr. T. C. Richardson
Matthew 26-27; Luke 22-23
Summary: Viewed from a prayer perspective Jesus' ordeal from His arrest at Gethsemane to His crucifixion at Calvary provides a most striking example of the interrelationship between the act or struggle in prayer and how God responds or expresses His love for us because we are obedient to ask. Throughout His period of trial Jesus stayed connected to God which gave Him the faith and strength to overcome injustice, deprivation, abuse, and rejection. Our Emanuel -- God with us -- not only taught us to pray "Thy will be done", but in His last days showed us how the power of prayer helps will help us find joy "in the Lord" even though our human circumstances are impossible for us to bear.

Jesus (God the son) faced death for something He did not do. Conspirators in the Jewish religious establishment accused Him wrongfully of "spiritual crimes", obtained His arrest, conviction, and death on the charges. The story is oh so familiar to we Christians.
While we stress His atoning death and resurrection as unquestioned evidence of God's love for us by providing the victory at Calvary and release from the captivity or fear of all our suffering, death being the ultimate trial we all face. His passion and death is equally a ...
