00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:20.000
 You grab your Bibles and turn back to Mark 14. Mark 14, starting at verse 32, that's on page 851.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:51.960
 Let me pray for God's help. Heavenly Father, help us tonight to hear your word and not just take it as words in our ears, but would you drive them into our heart and would we know and love Christ better. In his name we pray. Amen.

00:00:51.960 --> 00:01:17.180
 There are moments in life where you can feel sick to your stomach. Those moments are usually before a big event, as the moment approaches, like the moment before a big final exam, as the clock approaches the start time, or before walking on stage for that big performance and the audience are ready and the lights are on.

00:01:17.180 --> 00:01:32.160
 And it's just before that happens that you begin to feel the nerves, the sickness, that your knees get a bit weak. You feel that this is the big moment. It's coming. And now I just need to go through with this.

00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:49.699
 But for all of us here, that big moment has never been our death. On July 1st, 1916, at 7.29am, British and French troops were in their trenches at the Battle of the Somme.

00:01:49.700 --> 00:02:04.700
 And they were waiting for a Somme. And they were waiting for a Somme. And at the sound of a whistle, they were to climb up their ladders, out of their trench, and walk head on toward the German front line.

00:02:04.700 --> 00:02:27.539
 And that meant heading onto an onslaught of German bullets. In those moments, those troops were waiting for their death. And in those eerily quiet moments, before that whistle was blown, can you imagine the sickness that they felt in their stomach?

00:02:27.539 --> 00:02:57.519
 The distress that they felt in their stomach? The distress that they felt in their stomach?

00:02:57.520 --> 00:02:58.520
 Basically any of those discomfort? Basically any of those discomfort? Basically any of those discomforts were in their stomach?

00:02:58.520 --> 00:02:58.520


00:02:58.520 --> 00:02:58.520


00:02:58.520 --> 00:02:58.520


00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:00.520
 Basically any of those discomforts were in their stomachs were in their stomachs were in their stomachs.

00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:01.520
 Basically any of those discomforts were in their stomachs were in their stomachs were in their stomachs were in their stomachs.

00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:08.160
 And there's not just sickness in his stomach, there is terror within him.

00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:11.040
 And this is my first point.

00:03:12.060 --> 00:03:15.100
 Jesus faced terror before the cross.

00:03:16.140 --> 00:03:18.860
 Jesus faced terror before the cross.

00:03:19.020 --> 00:03:20.439
 Look at verse 32 of me.

00:03:21.860 --> 00:03:26.080
 And they went, asked the disciples of Jesus, they went to a place to get 70.

00:03:26.700 --> 00:03:30.520
 And he said to his disciples, sit here while I pray.

00:03:31.900 --> 00:03:34.140
 Jesus has gone to this garden to pray.

00:03:35.580 --> 00:03:37.640
 Something is weighing on him.

00:03:38.700 --> 00:03:41.580
 He needs to go to his heavenly father and pray.

00:03:42.780 --> 00:03:45.640
 And he even asked for help from his friends.

00:03:45.760 --> 00:03:46.740
 Look at verse 33.

00:03:47.500 --> 00:03:49.980
 And he took with him Peter and James and John.

00:03:51.420 --> 00:03:53.040
 And what is weighing on him?

00:03:53.980 --> 00:03:55.200
 Why do you need to pray?

00:03:55.200 --> 00:03:56.600
 Verse 33.

00:03:57.740 --> 00:04:00.760
 He began to be greatly distressed and troubled.

00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:04.140
 There's something seriously wrong.

00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.900
 Internally, Jesus is deeply unsettled.

00:04:09.740 --> 00:04:10.580
 He's anxious.

00:04:10.760 --> 00:04:11.600
 He's scared.

00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:14.960
 His emotions are overwhelming him.

00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:20.259
 But more than that, the issue goes even deeper inside of him.

00:04:20.620 --> 00:04:23.220
 He says to Peter, James and John in verse 34,

00:04:23.220 --> 00:04:28.420
 My soul is very sorrowful, even to death.

00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:30.340
 Remain here and watch.

00:04:31.780 --> 00:04:36.040
 There is sorrow down to the depths of his soul.

00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:38.800
 And it's not just a little sorrow.

00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:41.600
 It is sorrow to the point of death.

00:04:42.740 --> 00:04:49.080
 A sorrow and distress that's so heavy and so crushing, it's almost killing him.

00:04:50.500 --> 00:04:51.939
 He's burdened with grief.

00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:53.020
 He's tormented.

00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:55.939
 He's disturbed to the very depths of his being.

00:04:55.939 --> 00:05:05.600
 Those of you who might suffer with anxiety or panic attacks, can I just say that Jesus knows how you feel.

00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:07.899
 And even worse, actually.

00:05:09.660 --> 00:05:13.259
 Anxiety can feel like a dark cloud over you, can't it?

00:05:13.259 --> 00:05:16.159
 Like the colour has gone from the world.

00:05:16.500 --> 00:05:19.259
 And like your body physically just won't settle.

00:05:21.019 --> 00:05:24.939
 Well, Jesus knows how you feel because he is going through something much worse here.

00:05:27.300 --> 00:05:32.180
 And so, he leaves the three disciples behind and heads further into the garden.

00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:33.560
 Verse 35.

00:05:34.779 --> 00:05:38.759
 And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed.

00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:48.519
 Now, this is no normal praying position he's in here.

00:05:49.339 --> 00:05:55.759
 A normal position might be standing or kneeling and perhaps have his arms up and eyes lifted to heaven.

00:05:57.459 --> 00:05:59.000
 But Jesus doesn't do that here.

00:06:00.060 --> 00:06:01.039
 What does he do?

00:06:01.139 --> 00:06:03.099
 He fell to the ground.

00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:06.719
 Jesus collapses to the dirt.

00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:11.020
 He falls before the Father, coming to him in dire need.

00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.600
 This prayer is a desperate cry to God.

00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:18.600
 And he prays to the Father, asking him in verse 35,

00:06:19.980 --> 00:06:23.360
 that if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

00:06:25.140 --> 00:06:29.120
 Now, this hour he's speaking of here, this is the hour of his death.

00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:34.000
 Jesus has already foretold three times in Mark's Gospel up to this point,

00:06:34.379 --> 00:06:36.980
 that he's going to be handed over to the authorities of Jerusalem,

00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:40.019
 and he's going to suffer, and he's going to die.

00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:42.899
 And this has been his mission.

00:06:43.740 --> 00:06:46.040
 This has been his task from the beginning.

00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:48.340
 This is why he was sent.

00:06:48.740 --> 00:06:52.079
 This is what his whole life and ministry has been building up to.

00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:56.519
 And now he knows the hour is almost here.

00:06:58.039 --> 00:07:03.099
 He lies in the trench of Gethsemane, waiting for the whistle to blow.

00:07:04.060 --> 00:07:06.899
 He knows the time has come for him to die.

00:07:06.899 --> 00:07:10.939
 And this is why his soul is so sorrowful.

00:07:11.719 --> 00:07:14.639
 He's staring death square in the face.

00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:19.060
 He's on death row, staring down his execution.

00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:22.959
 And it fills him with dread.

00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:29.219
 The shadow of the cross is looming over him and crushing him

00:07:29.219 --> 00:07:33.560
 with trouble and distress and sorrow.

00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:40.540
 But, it's not just death he's staring at.

00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:45.180
 There's something more troubling going on here.

00:07:45.740 --> 00:07:47.840
 Look at what he prays in verse 36.

00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:50.420
 In verse 36.

00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:51.139
 And he said,

00:07:51.899 --> 00:07:55.540
 Abba, Father, all things are possible for you.

00:07:56.340 --> 00:07:57.899
 Remove this cup from me.

00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:00.740
 Yet not what I will, not what you will.

00:08:00.740 --> 00:08:04.579
 It's not just death that awaits him.

00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:06.780
 But it's a cup.

00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:12.259
 Now this cup is a very important and a very terrifying cup.

00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.139
 And you can read about this cup in Isaiah 51.

00:08:15.699 --> 00:08:18.400
 And this is the cup of God's wrath.

00:08:20.060 --> 00:08:24.540
 This cup represents God's punishment on sin.

00:08:24.540 --> 00:08:27.620
 And in this cup, there isn't water.

00:08:28.280 --> 00:08:31.020
 There isn't even acid or poison.

00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:36.159
 In this cup is the blistering fury of God's wrath on sin.

00:08:37.940 --> 00:08:41.920
 This cup hangs over all our heads.

00:08:43.460 --> 00:08:47.200
 Every sinner has to have their sins accounted for.

00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:50.600
 Every sin needs to be punished.

00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:55.280
 Every sinner has God's wrath resting on them, ready to fall.

00:08:57.040 --> 00:09:00.140
 Everyone has this cup waiting for them.

00:09:01.040 --> 00:09:02.500
 And you can't ignore it.

00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:04.360
 You can't pour it down the sink.

00:09:04.640 --> 00:09:05.680
 You can't avoid it.

00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:08.240
 No, this cup needs to be drunk.

00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:15.799
 And so here in the garden, Jesus isn't just facing death.

00:09:16.680 --> 00:09:18.340
 He's facing wrath.

00:09:20.060 --> 00:09:27.299
 On the cross, Jesus not only faced physical pain and agony and a brutal death, which he most certainly did.

00:09:28.419 --> 00:09:30.680
 But he also faced spiritual torment.

00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:35.359
 And he experienced the very wrath of God itself.

00:09:36.500 --> 00:09:39.039
 Jesus drank this cup.

00:09:41.079 --> 00:09:42.620
 But it wasn't his cup.

00:09:44.319 --> 00:09:45.799
 Sinners have this cup.

00:09:45.959 --> 00:09:47.439
 But Jesus committed no sin.

00:09:48.819 --> 00:09:50.459
 There was no cup for Jesus.

00:09:51.379 --> 00:09:53.039
 This cup wasn't his.

00:09:54.779 --> 00:09:56.500
 Christian, it was mine.

00:09:57.879 --> 00:09:59.319
 And it was yours.

00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:05.699
 Jesus drank the cup of wrath for our sins.

00:10:07.419 --> 00:10:12.539
 Jesus was in that garden facing down the sin and wrath deserved for us.

00:10:14.539 --> 00:10:19.439
 He knew he was about to answer for every sin that we committed.

00:10:20.539 --> 00:10:29.000
 Every lustful thought, every nasty word, every lie, every burst of anger, every sin of ours that deserves an eternity in hell.

00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.480
 All the sin that we did.

00:10:32.019 --> 00:10:34.720
 Jesus was staring it square in the face.

00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:38.860
 And he knew that he would be punished for it.

00:10:38.860 --> 00:10:41.080
 The cup was hanging over him.

00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:46.400
 And so, how bad is our sin?

00:10:47.540 --> 00:10:49.340
 How bad is this wrath?

00:10:50.700 --> 00:10:54.860
 Well, Jesus looks at it and is in utter distress.

00:10:56.100 --> 00:10:58.960
 He is physically and emotionally disturbed.

00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:03.620
 He is sorrowful in the depths of his soul to the point of death.

00:11:03.620 --> 00:11:10.420
 Brothers and sisters, Jesus looked at the wrath stored up for me and for you.

00:11:11.259 --> 00:11:12.900
 And it filled him with dread.

00:11:12.899 --> 00:11:20.379
 We don't know how many Christians there will be in the new creation.

00:11:21.539 --> 00:11:23.399
 It's impossible to even guess.

00:11:24.259 --> 00:11:26.519
 But let's say there's 10 billion.

00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:29.159
 Now that could be way off.

00:11:29.419 --> 00:11:30.000
 We don't really know.

00:11:30.079 --> 00:11:31.279
 We can't even really guess at these things.

00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:34.639
 But let's say 10 billion people in the new creation.

00:11:36.379 --> 00:11:42.519
 That means on the cross, Jesus took the sin of 10 billion people.

00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:45.480
 10 billion judgments.

00:11:45.699 --> 00:11:48.279
 10 billion eternities in hell.

00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.539
 The wrath stored up for your sin alone.

00:11:51.959 --> 00:11:53.279
 That's terrifying enough.

00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:55.679
 But can you imagine the sin of an entire people?

00:11:55.679 --> 00:12:03.779
 And so, is it any wonder Jesus falls to the ground in sorrow and distress?

00:12:05.319 --> 00:12:07.819
 We can't even begin to imagine that feeling.

00:12:09.659 --> 00:12:11.519
 And so Jesus prays to the Father.

00:12:12.739 --> 00:12:16.459
 Asking if it is possible that this hour might pass from him.

00:12:17.339 --> 00:12:21.719
 He prays, Lord, this is such a terrifying and agonising task.

00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:25.179
 If it is possible, please let there be another way.

00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:32.779
 Now at this point, you might ask, well, is Jesus chickening out there?

00:12:34.479 --> 00:12:38.459
 Is this Jesus not wanting to do what God has planned for him?

00:12:39.859 --> 00:12:40.479
 Well, no.

00:12:41.419 --> 00:12:42.639
 I want you to hear it here.

00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.819
 In all this, Jesus willingly faced this terror.

00:12:47.819 --> 00:12:49.059
 And this is my second point today.

00:12:50.059 --> 00:12:52.259
 Jesus willingly faced terror.

00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.339
 Jesus willingly faced terror.

00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:03.439
 There are two times in this passage where Mark tells us that Jesus prayed and asked his father that his death might not happen.

00:13:03.819 --> 00:13:05.099
 So look at verse 35.

00:13:06.059 --> 00:13:07.539
 He fell on the ground and prayed.

00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:09.939
 If it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

00:13:10.659 --> 00:13:14.419
 And then again in verse 36, we hear his own words.

00:13:14.419 --> 00:13:17.819
 Abba, Father, all things are possible for you.

00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:19.639
 Remove this cup from me.

00:13:20.339 --> 00:13:22.740
 Yet not what I will, but what you will.

00:13:22.740 --> 00:13:30.279
 We must think here that Jesus is asking, Lord, stop the plan of redemption.

00:13:30.899 --> 00:13:32.100
 This is too scary.

00:13:32.259 --> 00:13:33.399
 I'm backing out here.

00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:35.539
 No.

00:13:35.539 --> 00:13:35.539


00:13:36.459 --> 00:13:39.959
 We're witnessing here the true humanity of Christ.

00:13:41.220 --> 00:13:43.679
 It is human to fear death.

00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.799
 it is human to be distressed

00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:48.199
 at the idea of God's wrath

00:13:48.199 --> 00:13:50.339
 and so

00:13:50.339 --> 00:13:52.319
 we're not seeing any sin here

00:13:52.319 --> 00:13:55.039
 we're not seeing any unwillingness

00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:56.539
 we're seeing here

00:13:56.539 --> 00:13:59.039
 that the frailty of Jesus

00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:00.139
 fearing death

00:14:00.139 --> 00:14:02.139
 and the natural impulse

00:14:02.139 --> 00:14:03.679
 to avoid it

00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:06.219
 so think of it like this

00:14:06.219 --> 00:14:08.859
 imagine if I put a stove in front of you

00:14:08.859 --> 00:14:10.939
 and I turn the stove on

00:14:10.939 --> 00:14:12.740
 and blast it up to full max

00:14:12.740 --> 00:14:15.159
 and so the flames are roaring

00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:17.019
 and the iron griddle

00:14:17.019 --> 00:14:18.919
 is getting glowing hot

00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:21.360
 and I said put your hand

00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:23.159
 on top of that and hold it there

00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:25.600
 what are you going to do

00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:27.740
 you're going to back away

00:14:27.740 --> 00:14:28.180
 aren't you

00:14:28.180 --> 00:14:30.700
 you're going to want to avoid that

00:14:30.700 --> 00:14:33.440
 that's your human instinct

00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:35.580
 to avoid pain and death

00:14:35.580 --> 00:14:37.960
 it's not a sin

00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:38.899
 to want to put away

00:14:38.899 --> 00:14:41.240
 you're not disobeying me doing that

00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:42.659
 there's no fault in you

00:14:42.659 --> 00:14:43.519
 for doing that

00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:46.399
 well neither with Jesus

00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:49.039
 in the garden

00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:50.720
 Jesus is feeling

00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:52.560
 the blistering heat

00:14:52.560 --> 00:14:54.100
 of God's wrath

00:14:54.100 --> 00:14:57.159
 and in his human instinct

00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:57.919
 and frailty

00:14:57.919 --> 00:14:59.419
 he's trembling

00:14:59.419 --> 00:15:02.459
 and he's naturally

00:15:02.459 --> 00:15:03.719
 wanting to pull away

00:15:03.719 --> 00:15:06.419
 and so he comes to God

00:15:06.419 --> 00:15:06.740
 and says

00:15:06.740 --> 00:15:07.559
 Father

00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:08.939
 if there's another way

00:15:08.939 --> 00:15:09.699
 to do this

00:15:09.699 --> 00:15:11.799
 if that is possible

00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:13.919
 Father I pray for that

00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:17.099
 he comes with the burden

00:15:17.099 --> 00:15:18.279
 and the dread

00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:19.039
 of the cross

00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:20.079
 to his Father

00:15:20.079 --> 00:15:21.259
 to see if there's another way

00:15:21.259 --> 00:15:24.120
 but not to twist God's arm

00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.059
 to change the Father's will

00:15:26.059 --> 00:15:27.179
 but actually

00:15:27.179 --> 00:15:28.079
 quite the opposite

00:15:28.079 --> 00:15:28.699
 to that

00:15:28.699 --> 00:15:30.479
 he prays

00:15:30.479 --> 00:15:31.439
 to align his own

00:15:31.439 --> 00:15:32.039
 human world

00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:32.959
 with the Father's will

00:15:32.959 --> 00:15:35.799
 because look what he says next

00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:37.059
 at the end of verse 36

00:15:37.059 --> 00:15:40.299
 yet not what I will

00:15:40.299 --> 00:15:42.039
 but what you will

00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:44.919
 Jesus is saying here

00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:46.959
 though my flesh fears death

00:15:46.959 --> 00:15:48.859
 and the task ahead of me

00:15:48.859 --> 00:15:49.759
 is terrifying

00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:52.099
 yet I know your plan

00:15:52.099 --> 00:15:53.639
 is for me to do this

00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:55.419
 and so I will do

00:15:55.419 --> 00:15:56.500
 as you tell me Father

00:15:56.500 --> 00:15:58.360
 yet not what I will

00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:00.100
 but what you will

00:16:00.100 --> 00:16:04.419
 now these words

00:16:04.419 --> 00:16:05.879
 are some of the most

00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:06.960
 important words

00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:07.659
 ever uttered

00:16:07.659 --> 00:16:08.299
 on this planet

00:16:08.299 --> 00:16:10.319
 these are the words

00:16:10.319 --> 00:16:11.620
 of Jesus perfectly

00:16:11.620 --> 00:16:13.039
 obeying his Father

00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:15.519
 the fate of the world

00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:17.159
 depends on Jesus'

00:16:17.500 --> 00:16:18.039
 obedience

00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:19.600
 to the Father's will

00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:22.059
 and so the fate of the world

00:16:22.059 --> 00:16:24.019
 hangs on these words

00:16:24.019 --> 00:16:26.339
 and this obedience

00:16:26.339 --> 00:16:28.619
 if Jesus walks away now

00:16:28.619 --> 00:16:30.379
 he disobeys the Father

00:16:30.379 --> 00:16:32.359
 and there's no cross

00:16:32.359 --> 00:16:34.039
 there's no salvation

00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:35.939
 and all humanity

00:16:35.939 --> 00:16:37.599
 is left to drink this cup

00:16:37.599 --> 00:16:41.099
 the fate of the world

00:16:41.099 --> 00:16:42.679
 is in the balance here

00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:46.119
 and so it's no coincidence

00:16:46.119 --> 00:16:47.739
 where all this takes place

00:16:47.740 --> 00:16:49.899
 it's no coincidence

00:16:49.899 --> 00:16:51.159
 that all this takes place

00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:51.779
 in a garden

00:16:51.779 --> 00:16:54.180
 because can you think

00:16:54.180 --> 00:16:54.960
 of another garden

00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:56.820
 where the fate of the world

00:16:56.820 --> 00:16:57.460
 was decided

00:16:57.460 --> 00:16:59.700
 it was Adam

00:16:59.700 --> 00:17:01.279
 in the garden of Eden

00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:04.819
 Adam's disobedience

00:17:04.819 --> 00:17:06.259
 to his heavenly father

00:17:06.259 --> 00:17:07.099
 when he took

00:17:07.099 --> 00:17:08.519
 the forbidden fruits

00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:10.079
 that disobedience

00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:11.259
 plunged humanity

00:17:11.259 --> 00:17:12.680
 into sin and misery

00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:14.240
 Adam said

00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:15.859
 not what you were God

00:17:15.859 --> 00:17:16.940
 but what I were

00:17:16.940 --> 00:17:19.420
 but what happens

00:17:19.420 --> 00:17:20.240
 here in Gethsemane

00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:22.779
 Jesus in the garden

00:17:22.779 --> 00:17:23.299
 of Gethsemane

00:17:23.299 --> 00:17:23.640
 says

00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:24.940
 not what I were

00:17:24.940 --> 00:17:26.860
 but what you were Father

00:17:26.860 --> 00:17:29.900
 in this moment

00:17:29.900 --> 00:17:31.900
 Jesus is undoing

00:17:31.900 --> 00:17:33.299
 what Adam has done

00:17:33.299 --> 00:17:35.059
 by saying yes

00:17:35.059 --> 00:17:35.640
 to the Father

00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:37.380
 he's taking his people

00:17:37.380 --> 00:17:38.279
 out of sin

00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:39.019
 and misery

00:17:39.019 --> 00:17:40.880
 and so

00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:42.120
 no one else

00:17:42.120 --> 00:17:43.039
 could have done this

00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:44.519
 no one else

00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:45.059
 could have said

00:17:45.059 --> 00:17:45.920
 these words

00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:47.840
 this is such a huge

00:17:47.840 --> 00:17:48.160
 burden

00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:49.620
 such a dreadful task

00:17:49.620 --> 00:17:50.860
 such perfect

00:17:50.860 --> 00:17:51.500
 obedience

00:17:51.500 --> 00:17:52.620
 is required for this

00:17:52.620 --> 00:17:54.360
 only Jesus Christ

00:17:54.360 --> 00:17:55.259
 could have done this

00:17:55.259 --> 00:17:58.380
 and his disciples

00:17:58.380 --> 00:17:59.620
 prove that point

00:17:59.620 --> 00:18:01.420
 do you remember

00:18:01.420 --> 00:18:02.600
 what Jesus commanded

00:18:02.600 --> 00:18:03.039
 Peter

00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:03.820
 James and John

00:18:03.820 --> 00:18:04.779
 to do while they prayed

00:18:04.779 --> 00:18:06.200
 verse 34

00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:08.380
 remain here

00:18:08.380 --> 00:18:09.740
 and watch

00:18:09.740 --> 00:18:12.240
 their task is simple

00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:13.680
 stay here

00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:15.060
 and stay awake

00:18:15.060 --> 00:18:16.380
 it's kind of your

00:18:16.380 --> 00:18:17.220
 task at the moment

00:18:17.220 --> 00:18:18.259
 this evening

00:18:18.259 --> 00:18:19.320
 so he's feeling sleepy

00:18:19.320 --> 00:18:20.440
 stay here

00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:21.560
 stay awake

00:18:21.560 --> 00:18:24.360
 but look what happens

00:18:24.360 --> 00:18:25.400
 next in verse 37

00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:27.299
 Jesus comes back

00:18:27.299 --> 00:18:27.940
 over to them

00:18:27.940 --> 00:18:29.920
 verse 37

00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:31.140
 and he came and found

00:18:31.140 --> 00:18:31.799
 them sleeping

00:18:31.799 --> 00:18:33.779
 and he said to Peter

00:18:33.779 --> 00:18:35.220
 Simon are you asleep

00:18:35.220 --> 00:18:37.019
 could you not watch

00:18:37.019 --> 00:18:37.820
 one hour

00:18:37.820 --> 00:18:39.500
 watch and pray

00:18:39.500 --> 00:18:40.100
 that you may not

00:18:40.100 --> 00:18:41.039
 enter into temptation

00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:42.079
 the spirit indeed

00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:42.559
 is willing

00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:43.200
 but the flesh

00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:43.799
 is weak

00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:46.740
 as Jesus

00:18:46.740 --> 00:18:47.599
 faces his burden

00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:48.159
 task

00:18:48.159 --> 00:18:49.220
 they have one

00:18:49.220 --> 00:18:50.220
 simple task

00:18:50.220 --> 00:18:51.619
 stay awake

00:18:51.619 --> 00:18:53.000
 and they couldn't

00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:53.779
 even do that

00:18:53.779 --> 00:18:55.359
 why?

00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:56.319
 well Jesus says

00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:57.119
 that the spirit

00:18:57.119 --> 00:18:58.079
 indeed is willing

00:18:58.079 --> 00:18:59.480
 but the flesh

00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:00.119
 is weak

00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:01.859
 Jesus is saying to me

00:19:01.859 --> 00:19:02.960
 your tiredness

00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:04.039
 is pulling you away

00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:05.539
 from the simple task

00:19:05.539 --> 00:19:06.240
 of stay awake

00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:06.700
 and pray

00:19:06.700 --> 00:19:08.100
 your spirit

00:19:08.100 --> 00:19:08.660
 is willing

00:19:08.660 --> 00:19:10.319
 but it's not

00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:11.000
 willing enough

00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:13.720
 and he comes back

00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:15.420
 again in verse 40

00:19:15.420 --> 00:19:15.940
 and what are they

00:19:15.940 --> 00:19:16.200
 doing?

00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:16.680
 sleeping

00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:18.360
 and he comes back

00:19:18.360 --> 00:19:19.039
 a third time

00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:19.700
 in verse 41

00:19:19.700 --> 00:19:20.480
 what are they doing?

00:19:20.860 --> 00:19:21.340
 sleeping

00:19:21.340 --> 00:19:24.220
 the disciples

00:19:24.220 --> 00:19:25.660
 are being contrasted

00:19:25.660 --> 00:19:26.019
 here

00:19:26.019 --> 00:19:26.980
 with Jesus

00:19:26.980 --> 00:19:28.200
 to show that

00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:29.140
 no one else

00:19:29.140 --> 00:19:29.600
 could have done

00:19:29.600 --> 00:19:30.319
 what Jesus did

00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:32.319
 they couldn't even

00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:32.880
 stay awake

00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:33.940
 so they definitely

00:19:33.940 --> 00:19:34.960
 crumb under the pressure

00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:35.900
 Jesus was facing

00:19:35.900 --> 00:19:37.940
 and so would we

00:19:37.940 --> 00:19:39.580
 so would any one

00:19:39.580 --> 00:19:40.800
 of us

00:19:40.800 --> 00:19:43.400
 and what's even worse

00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:44.420
 these aren't any

00:19:44.420 --> 00:19:45.100
 old disciples

00:19:45.100 --> 00:19:47.340
 James and John

00:19:47.340 --> 00:19:48.980
 said back in

00:19:48.980 --> 00:19:49.780
 chapter 10

00:19:49.780 --> 00:19:51.540
 Jesus we can

00:19:51.540 --> 00:19:52.360
 drink the cup

00:19:52.360 --> 00:19:52.920
 that you're about

00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:53.400
 to drink

00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:55.300
 and Peter

00:19:55.300 --> 00:19:56.700
 in verse 30

00:19:56.700 --> 00:19:57.380
 of this chapter

00:19:57.380 --> 00:19:58.560
 said

00:19:58.560 --> 00:19:59.700
 I will die

00:19:59.700 --> 00:20:00.280
 with you

00:20:00.280 --> 00:20:02.600
 for now

00:20:02.600 --> 00:20:02.940
 look at the

00:20:02.940 --> 00:20:03.340
 mystery

00:20:03.340 --> 00:20:05.019
 they can't even

00:20:05.019 --> 00:20:05.759
 stay awake

00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:06.460
 for Jesus

00:20:06.460 --> 00:20:08.220
 even the most

00:20:08.220 --> 00:20:08.720
 unwilling

00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:09.460
 could not do

00:20:09.460 --> 00:20:09.900
 what Jesus

00:20:09.900 --> 00:20:10.200
 did

00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:10.740
 Jesus

00:20:10.740 --> 00:20:11.599
 stands alone

00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:12.160
 in the garden

00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:13.119
 as the only

00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:13.920
 one who will

00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:14.819
 save the world

00:20:14.819 --> 00:20:18.119
 so did you

00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:18.599
 notice

00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:19.619
 where Jesus

00:20:19.619 --> 00:20:20.539
 is in relation

00:20:20.539 --> 00:20:21.319
 to the disciples

00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:23.440
 in verse 35

00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:23.960
 it says

00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:25.400
 Jesus went

00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:26.599
 a little farther

00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:27.839
 than the disciples

00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:29.599
 in Luke's gospel

00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:30.000
 it says

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:30.680
 he went

00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:31.220
 a stone's

00:20:31.220 --> 00:20:31.819
 thrown away

00:20:31.819 --> 00:20:34.079
 this little

00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:34.839
 distance

00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:36.359
 this

00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:37.059
 a little

00:20:37.059 --> 00:20:37.659
 farther

00:20:37.659 --> 00:20:39.500
 is the

00:20:39.500 --> 00:20:39.980
 distance

00:20:39.980 --> 00:20:40.419
 between

00:20:40.419 --> 00:20:41.200
 the world

00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:42.240
 and its

00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:42.720
 saviour

00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:44.500
 between the

00:20:44.500 --> 00:20:44.980
 weak

00:20:44.980 --> 00:20:45.939
 and the one

00:20:45.939 --> 00:20:46.519
 perfectly

00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:47.419
 obedient man

00:20:47.419 --> 00:20:48.039
 who willingly

00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:48.720
 faced this

00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:49.079
 terror

00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:52.099
 now look at

00:20:52.099 --> 00:20:52.519
 what Jesus

00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:53.039
 says when he

00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:53.619
 returns for the

00:20:53.619 --> 00:20:54.220
 last time

00:20:54.220 --> 00:20:56.559
 in verse 41

00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:57.279
 are you still

00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:57.759
 sleeping

00:20:57.759 --> 00:20:58.460
 and taking

00:20:58.460 --> 00:20:59.099
 your rest

00:20:59.099 --> 00:21:00.980
 it is enough

00:21:00.980 --> 00:21:02.440
 the hour has

00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:02.799
 come

00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:04.519
 the son of man

00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:04.980
 is betrayed

00:21:04.980 --> 00:21:05.679
 into the hands

00:21:05.679 --> 00:21:06.079
 of sinners

00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:06.679
 rise

00:21:06.679 --> 00:21:07.720
 let us be

00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:08.019
 going

00:21:08.019 --> 00:21:09.460
 see my

00:21:09.460 --> 00:21:09.940
 betrayer

00:21:09.940 --> 00:21:10.500
 is at hand

00:21:10.500 --> 00:21:12.659
 the hour

00:21:12.659 --> 00:21:13.019
 he's been

00:21:13.019 --> 00:21:13.339
 dreaded

00:21:13.339 --> 00:21:13.879
 is now here

00:21:13.879 --> 00:21:15.200
 and he

00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:15.720
 simply says

00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:16.259
 rise

00:21:16.259 --> 00:21:16.960
 let us be

00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:17.240
 going

00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:19.599
 he willingly

00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:20.720
 heads straight

00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:21.059
 towards

00:21:21.059 --> 00:21:22.740
 he knows

00:21:22.740 --> 00:21:23.379
 Judas is

00:21:23.379 --> 00:21:24.019
 just ahead

00:21:24.019 --> 00:21:25.799
 he knows

00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:26.259
 the wheels

00:21:26.259 --> 00:21:26.839
 are in motion

00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:27.879
 he knows

00:21:27.879 --> 00:21:28.379
 his fate

00:21:28.379 --> 00:21:28.859
 is sealed

00:21:28.859 --> 00:21:29.319
 and he

00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:30.240
 walks straight

00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:31.000
 to the cross

00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:32.839
 straight into

00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:33.159
 the heat

00:21:33.159 --> 00:21:33.940
 straight toward

00:21:33.940 --> 00:21:34.500
 that club

00:21:34.500 --> 00:21:36.059
 all the while

00:21:36.059 --> 00:21:36.519
 saying

00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:37.740
 yet not what

00:21:37.740 --> 00:21:38.159
 I will

00:21:38.159 --> 00:21:39.200
 but what

00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:39.659
 you will

00:21:39.659 --> 00:21:42.240
 he had

00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:42.960
 his father

00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:43.839
 on his mind

00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:44.639
 that night

00:21:44.639 --> 00:21:46.559
 but not just

00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:47.059
 his father

00:21:47.059 --> 00:21:48.879
 Christian

00:21:48.879 --> 00:21:50.019
 he had

00:21:50.019 --> 00:21:50.859
 you on his

00:21:50.859 --> 00:21:51.240
 mind

00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:51.579
 in this

00:21:51.579 --> 00:21:51.900
 agony

00:21:51.900 --> 00:21:53.799
 because

00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:54.160
 Jesus

00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:54.700
 willingly

00:21:54.700 --> 00:21:55.180
 faced

00:21:55.180 --> 00:21:55.559
 terror

00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:56.519
 so that

00:21:56.519 --> 00:21:56.900
 you

00:21:56.900 --> 00:21:57.339
 will

00:21:57.339 --> 00:21:57.799
 never

00:21:57.799 --> 00:21:58.200
 have

00:21:58.200 --> 00:21:58.400
 to

00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:00.200
 that's

00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:00.579
 my third

00:22:00.579 --> 00:22:00.940
 point

00:22:00.940 --> 00:22:01.420
 tonight

00:22:01.420 --> 00:22:01.879
 Jesus

00:22:01.879 --> 00:22:02.400
 willingly

00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:02.859
 faced

00:22:02.859 --> 00:22:03.240
 terror

00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:04.299
 so you

00:22:04.299 --> 00:22:04.500
 will

00:22:04.500 --> 00:22:04.819
 never

00:22:04.819 --> 00:22:05.119
 have

00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:05.299
 to

00:22:05.299 --> 00:22:08.139
 have

00:22:08.139 --> 00:22:08.379
 you ever

00:22:08.379 --> 00:22:08.779
 wondered

00:22:08.779 --> 00:22:09.859
 how

00:22:09.859 --> 00:22:10.740
 martyrs

00:22:10.740 --> 00:22:11.599
 Christian

00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:12.220
 martyrs

00:22:12.220 --> 00:22:12.859
 could so

00:22:12.859 --> 00:22:13.339
 willingly

00:22:13.339 --> 00:22:13.639
 and

00:22:13.639 --> 00:22:14.359
 fearlessly

00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:14.839
 face

00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:15.259
 death

00:22:15.259 --> 00:22:17.420
 have

00:22:17.420 --> 00:22:17.819
 you ever

00:22:17.819 --> 00:22:18.180
 wondered

00:22:18.180 --> 00:22:19.099
 or seen

00:22:19.099 --> 00:22:19.779
 godly

00:22:19.779 --> 00:22:20.500
 Christians

00:22:20.500 --> 00:22:21.960
 so peacefully

00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:22.879
 and dreamfully

00:22:22.879 --> 00:22:23.420
 lay on their

00:22:23.420 --> 00:22:23.899
 deathbed

00:22:23.899 --> 00:22:24.279
 as they

00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:25.279
 stare down

00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:25.660
 death

00:22:25.660 --> 00:22:26.619
 maybe you

00:22:26.619 --> 00:22:27.000
 know someone

00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:27.680
 like that

00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:28.539
 or knew

00:22:28.539 --> 00:22:29.259
 someone like that

00:22:29.259 --> 00:22:31.519
 why don't

00:22:31.519 --> 00:22:32.420
 those Christians

00:22:32.420 --> 00:22:33.980
 have dread

00:22:33.980 --> 00:22:34.879
 or trouble

00:22:34.879 --> 00:22:35.720
 or sorrow

00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:36.799
 inside of them

00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:39.139
 because in

00:22:39.139 --> 00:22:39.519
 death

00:22:39.519 --> 00:22:40.480
 they aren't

00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:41.160
 facing the

00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:41.759
 wrath of god

00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:44.099
 there's nothing

00:22:44.099 --> 00:22:45.079
 left for them

00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:45.779
 to drink in the

00:22:45.779 --> 00:22:46.059
 cup

00:22:46.059 --> 00:22:47.440
 that they

00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:48.420
 aren't sorrowful

00:22:48.420 --> 00:22:49.680
 because Jesus

00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:50.720
 was sorrowful

00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:51.360
 for them

00:22:51.360 --> 00:22:53.279
 it's because

00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:53.920
 of this

00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:55.060
 very moment

00:22:55.060 --> 00:22:55.320
 in the

00:22:55.320 --> 00:22:55.660
 garden

00:22:55.660 --> 00:22:58.060
 and Christian

00:22:58.060 --> 00:22:59.580
 that goes

00:22:59.580 --> 00:22:59.940
 for you

00:22:59.940 --> 00:23:00.240
 too

00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:01.860
 as you

00:23:01.860 --> 00:23:02.680
 face death

00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:03.680
 however that

00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:04.320
 may be

00:23:04.320 --> 00:23:05.539
 that might be

00:23:05.539 --> 00:23:06.160
 old age

00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:07.600
 maybe illness

00:23:07.600 --> 00:23:09.120
 or maybe even

00:23:09.120 --> 00:23:09.700
 like a martyr

00:23:09.700 --> 00:23:10.460
 for your faith

00:23:10.460 --> 00:23:12.080
 whatever it may

00:23:12.080 --> 00:23:12.400
 be

00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:13.620
 you can be

00:23:13.619 --> 00:23:14.979
 very sure

00:23:14.979 --> 00:23:16.059
 that you

00:23:16.059 --> 00:23:16.939
 have nothing

00:23:16.939 --> 00:23:18.039
 to fear

00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:18.679
 in death

00:23:18.679 --> 00:23:21.019
 you don't

00:23:21.019 --> 00:23:21.719
 ever need

00:23:21.719 --> 00:23:22.059
 to feel

00:23:22.059 --> 00:23:22.879
 sorrowful

00:23:22.879 --> 00:23:24.019
 or distressed

00:23:24.019 --> 00:23:24.859
 or feel scared

00:23:24.859 --> 00:23:25.319
 about what's

00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:25.819
 coming after

00:23:25.819 --> 00:23:26.259
 death

00:23:26.259 --> 00:23:28.039
 your fate

00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:28.639
 is certain

00:23:28.639 --> 00:23:30.039
 there is no

00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:31.239
 wrath to face

00:23:31.239 --> 00:23:31.639
 for you

00:23:31.639 --> 00:23:33.139
 there is no

00:23:33.139 --> 00:23:33.419
 anger

00:23:33.419 --> 00:23:33.779
 Christian

00:23:33.779 --> 00:23:35.000
 there is nothing

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:36.019
 left in that

00:23:36.019 --> 00:23:36.559
 cup for you

00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:37.059
 to drink

00:23:37.059 --> 00:23:39.839
 Jesus

00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:40.839
 has drunk

00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:41.279
 it all

00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:43.039
 and so let me

00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:43.519
 be clear here

00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:44.339
 your sins

00:23:44.339 --> 00:23:45.420
 are completely

00:23:45.420 --> 00:23:46.779
 and utterly

00:23:46.779 --> 00:23:47.700
 dealt with

00:23:47.700 --> 00:23:50.240
 and death

00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:51.059
 for you

00:23:51.059 --> 00:23:51.879
 is not entering

00:23:51.879 --> 00:23:52.599
 into a dark

00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:53.059
 and scary

00:23:53.059 --> 00:23:53.660
 place

00:23:53.660 --> 00:23:55.240
 no it is

00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:55.599
 the complete

00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:55.940
 opposite

00:23:55.940 --> 00:23:56.819
 death for you

00:23:56.819 --> 00:23:57.579
 is like coming

00:23:57.579 --> 00:23:57.940
 home

00:23:57.940 --> 00:23:59.779
 you will be

00:23:59.779 --> 00:24:00.299
 with Jesus

00:24:00.299 --> 00:24:01.200
 and it will

00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:02.259
 be amazing

00:24:02.259 --> 00:24:05.359
 Jesus faced

00:24:05.359 --> 00:24:06.279
 this distress

00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:07.160
 for you

00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:09.680
 he was terrified

00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:10.440
 as he approached

00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:10.759
 death

00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:11.660
 so that you

00:24:11.660 --> 00:24:12.460
 will never

00:24:12.460 --> 00:24:13.200
 have to be

00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:17.400
 but if you're

00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:17.920
 not a Christian

00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:18.519
 here today

00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:20.279
 can I just

00:24:20.279 --> 00:24:20.619
 speak to you

00:24:20.619 --> 00:24:21.019
 for a moment

00:24:21.019 --> 00:24:22.259
 maybe you're

00:24:22.259 --> 00:24:22.740
 here today

00:24:22.740 --> 00:24:23.359
 and you do

00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:24.059
 fear death

00:24:24.059 --> 00:24:25.279
 and it

00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:25.940
 troubles you

00:24:25.940 --> 00:24:27.960
 or maybe

00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:28.680
 you're not

00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:28.960
 a Christian

00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:29.400
 here today

00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:30.180
 and you just

00:24:30.180 --> 00:24:30.599
 haven't really

00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:31.279
 thought about

00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:31.640
 it

00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:33.400
 well

00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:34.200
 whether you

00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:34.700
 fear death

00:24:34.700 --> 00:24:35.200
 a lot

00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:37.480
 or you

00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:37.940
 haven't really

00:24:37.940 --> 00:24:38.500
 thought about

00:24:38.500 --> 00:24:38.799
 it

00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:40.259
 the truth

00:24:40.259 --> 00:24:40.740
 is that

00:24:40.740 --> 00:24:41.240
 death

00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:42.579
 is a lot

00:24:42.579 --> 00:24:43.339
 worse than

00:24:43.339 --> 00:24:43.899
 you think

00:24:43.899 --> 00:24:46.019
 because for

00:24:46.019 --> 00:24:46.339
 those who

00:24:46.339 --> 00:24:46.819
 aren't following

00:24:46.819 --> 00:24:47.220
 Christ

00:24:47.220 --> 00:24:47.940
 death isn't

00:24:47.940 --> 00:24:48.480
 just an

00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:48.919
 unknown

00:24:48.919 --> 00:24:50.180
 death isn't

00:24:50.180 --> 00:24:51.039
 nothingness

00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:52.859
 death is

00:24:52.859 --> 00:24:53.559
 terrifying

00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:55.559
 death is

00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:56.059
 when you die

00:24:56.059 --> 00:24:56.859
 you will face

00:24:56.859 --> 00:24:57.659
 God's wrath

00:24:57.659 --> 00:24:59.279
 this cup

00:24:59.279 --> 00:24:59.919
 that Jesus

00:24:59.919 --> 00:25:01.159
 was so sorrowful

00:25:01.159 --> 00:25:02.339
 and so distressed

00:25:02.339 --> 00:25:02.859
 to drink

00:25:02.859 --> 00:25:04.220
 you will have

00:25:04.220 --> 00:25:05.179
 to drink it

00:25:05.179 --> 00:25:07.059
 and it will

00:25:07.059 --> 00:25:08.039
 be a horrible

00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:08.899
 unimaginable

00:25:08.899 --> 00:25:09.639
 experience

00:25:09.639 --> 00:25:10.619
 and if I can be

00:25:10.619 --> 00:25:11.079
 straight with you

00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:11.700
 here it will

00:25:11.700 --> 00:25:12.779
 be hell for

00:25:12.779 --> 00:25:13.259
 eternity

00:25:13.259 --> 00:25:15.599
 someone

00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:16.740
 has to

00:25:16.740 --> 00:25:17.279
 drink this

00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:17.660
 cup

00:25:17.660 --> 00:25:18.839
 someone

00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:19.559
 has to

00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:20.059
 take this

00:25:20.059 --> 00:25:20.559
 punishment

00:25:20.559 --> 00:25:22.440
 so I ask

00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:22.879
 you today

00:25:22.879 --> 00:25:23.839
 will it be

00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:24.240
 you

00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:25.759
 or will it

00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:26.240
 be Jesus

00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:28.759
 because if you

00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:29.379
 turn from your

00:25:29.379 --> 00:25:29.779
 sin

00:25:29.779 --> 00:25:30.740
 and you trust

00:25:30.740 --> 00:25:31.240
 in Jesus

00:25:31.240 --> 00:25:31.900
 and follow

00:25:31.900 --> 00:25:32.279
 him

00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:33.400
 if you come

00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:33.859
 to Jesus

00:25:33.859 --> 00:25:34.599
 and say

00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:35.359
 Jesus

00:25:35.359 --> 00:25:36.079
 I don't

00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:36.519
 want this

00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:36.960
 wrath

00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:38.039
 please

00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:38.740
 save me

00:25:38.740 --> 00:25:39.339
 from it

00:25:39.339 --> 00:25:41.119
 rest

00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:41.500
 assured

00:25:41.500 --> 00:25:42.559
 he will

00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:43.319
 save you

00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:45.819
 he will

00:25:45.819 --> 00:25:46.319
 save all

00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:46.679
 who come

00:25:46.679 --> 00:25:47.019
 to him

00:25:47.019 --> 00:25:47.619
 and if you

00:25:47.619 --> 00:25:47.919
 do

00:25:47.919 --> 00:25:48.599
 if you do

00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:49.240
 come to him

00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:50.099
 you will

00:25:50.099 --> 00:25:50.500
 find

00:25:50.500 --> 00:25:51.379
 your cup

00:25:51.379 --> 00:25:51.779
 is already

00:25:51.779 --> 00:25:52.139
 empty

00:25:52.139 --> 00:25:53.700
 Jesus

00:25:53.700 --> 00:25:54.379
 has already

00:25:54.379 --> 00:25:54.779
 drunken

00:25:54.779 --> 00:25:55.460
 on the cross

00:25:55.460 --> 00:25:58.059
 and death

00:25:58.059 --> 00:25:58.519
 will be

00:25:58.519 --> 00:25:59.419
 transformed

00:25:59.419 --> 00:25:59.960
 for you

00:25:59.960 --> 00:26:01.099
 death

00:26:01.099 --> 00:26:01.399
 will not

00:26:01.399 --> 00:26:01.980
 be a mystery

00:26:01.980 --> 00:26:02.519
 it won't

00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:02.980
 be anything

00:26:02.980 --> 00:26:03.700
 to fear

00:26:03.700 --> 00:26:04.720
 in fact

00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:04.960
 it will

00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:05.440
 be entering

00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:05.839
 joy

00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:06.259
 it will

00:26:06.259 --> 00:26:06.679
 be like

00:26:06.679 --> 00:26:07.039
 coming

00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:07.399
 home

00:26:07.399 --> 00:26:10.319
 this is

00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:10.819
 why Jesus

00:26:10.819 --> 00:26:11.299
 willingly

00:26:11.299 --> 00:26:11.740
 faced

00:26:11.740 --> 00:26:12.039
 terror

00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:12.339
 in this

00:26:12.339 --> 00:26:12.659
 garden

00:26:12.659 --> 00:26:14.319
 he did

00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:14.500
 it

00:26:14.500 --> 00:26:14.879
 so his

00:26:14.879 --> 00:26:15.339
 people

00:26:15.339 --> 00:26:15.599
 will

00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:16.019
 never

00:26:16.019 --> 00:26:16.319
 have

00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:16.459
 to

00:26:16.459 --> 00:26:16.679
 fear

00:26:16.679 --> 00:26:17.059
 death

00:26:17.059 --> 00:26:18.579
 so

00:26:18.579 --> 00:26:18.879
 Christian

00:26:18.879 --> 00:26:19.879
 you

00:26:19.879 --> 00:26:20.279
 have

00:26:20.279 --> 00:26:20.799
 nothing

00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:21.299
 to

00:26:21.299 --> 00:26:21.659
 fear

00:26:21.659 --> 00:26:24.220
 on this

00:26:24.220 --> 00:26:24.579
 night

00:26:24.579 --> 00:26:26.019
 in this

00:26:26.019 --> 00:26:26.339
 garden

00:26:26.339 --> 00:26:26.720
 Jesus

00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:27.059
 said

00:26:27.059 --> 00:26:27.500
 there is

00:26:27.500 --> 00:26:28.000
 sorrow

00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:28.539
 in my

00:26:28.539 --> 00:26:28.919
 soul

00:26:28.919 --> 00:26:30.659
 and he

00:26:30.659 --> 00:26:31.059
 said that

00:26:31.059 --> 00:26:31.379
 so that

00:26:31.379 --> 00:26:31.720
 we can

00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:32.379
 say yes

00:26:32.379 --> 00:26:33.500
 and now

00:26:33.500 --> 00:26:33.879
 it is

00:26:33.879 --> 00:26:34.299
 well

00:26:34.299 --> 00:26:34.859
 my

00:26:34.859 --> 00:26:35.259
 soul

00:26:35.259 --> 00:26:36.799
 praise

00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:37.139
 Jesus

00:26:37.139 --> 00:26:37.419
 let me

00:26:37.419 --> 00:26:37.679
 pray

00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:47.840
 Lord

00:26:47.840 --> 00:26:48.220
 we

00:26:48.220 --> 00:26:48.799
 thank you

00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:49.759
 for

00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:50.060
 Jesus

00:26:50.060 --> 00:26:50.580
 Christ

00:26:50.580 --> 00:26:51.660
 we

00:26:51.660 --> 00:26:52.100
 thank you

00:26:52.100 --> 00:26:52.420
 for this

00:26:52.420 --> 00:26:52.799
 night

00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:53.200
 in the

00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:53.539
 garden

00:26:53.539 --> 00:26:54.560
 we

00:26:54.560 --> 00:26:55.120
 thank you

00:26:55.120 --> 00:26:55.900
 for what he

00:26:55.900 --> 00:26:56.380
 went through

00:26:56.380 --> 00:26:56.799
 so that we

00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:57.320
 would never

00:26:57.320 --> 00:26:57.759
 have to

00:26:57.759 --> 00:26:59.759
 and we

00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:00.340
 pray that

00:27:00.340 --> 00:27:01.519
 we would

00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:02.480
 continue

00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:03.019
 trusting

00:27:03.019 --> 00:27:03.500
 in his

00:27:03.500 --> 00:27:03.819
 death

00:27:03.819 --> 00:27:05.000
 and that

00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:05.380
 we would

00:27:05.380 --> 00:27:06.200
 be assured

00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:06.740
 that our

00:27:06.740 --> 00:27:07.319

00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:07.880

00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:10.640
 has been

00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:11.059

00:27:11.059 --> 00:27:11.579

00:27:11.579 --> 00:27:13.700

00:27:14.460 --> 00:27:14.819
 eyes on

00:27:14.819 --> 00:27:15.079
 Jesus

00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:15.819
 in his

00:27:15.819 --> 00:27:16.160
 name we

00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:16.440
