In the garden of Gethsemane, most horrible trials of all time.
Why meditate upon that?
It is in the blood-sweat, pain, and trail that we see the clearest glimpse of the character of God.

Final Sermon
The Garden of Gethsemane
Where they camped
freqently
home away from home.
Familiar Place
Jesus place of prayer
Closest disciples
be with Him
night of sorrow
support him.
Familiar place
familiar routine
Jesus prays
others sleep
Jesus requests
they stay awake...
Reason?
Jesus adds:
Jesus needs
their prayers.
They need
their prayers.
Jesus recently
made prediction:
Peter argues
Luke adds:
Luke 22:31–32 (ESV)
“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail.”
Jesus knew,
what was coming.
Most severe trial
Jesus understood
Power
Endurance
Perseverance
Faithfulness
Is won through prayer!
Anyone here
struggle with
temptation???
A lesson:
the fight with temptations
is not won
in the moment
of temptation.
Rather,
time before it.
quiet prayer
committed devotions
spiritual choices
preceding
“big trial.”
Back to Jesus:
Joy of Last Supper
Now Gone.
Peace Gone
Desire of Ages (Chapter 74—Gethsemane)
As they approached the garden, the disciples had marked the change that came over their Master.
Never before had they seen Him so utterly sad and silent.
As He proceeded, this strange sadness deepened; yet they dared not question Him as to the cause.
DA 686
What was Jesus experiencing?
What changed in Him.
What sorrow?
Desire of Ages (Chapter 74—Gethsemane)
The guilt of fallen humanity He must bear.
Upon Him who knew no sin must be laid the iniquity of us all.
So dreadful does sin appear to Him, so great is the weight of guilt which He must bear, that He is tempted to fear it will shut Him out forever from His Father’s love.
Feeling how terrible is the wrath of God against transgression, He exclaims, “My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death.”
DA 686
Weight of sin
already beginning
to be laid
on him!
Ellen White adds:
Every step that He now took was with labored effort.
He groaned aloud, as if suffering under the pressure of a terrible burden.
Twice His companions supported Him, or He would have fallen to the earth.
DA 686
Jesus reeling
physical can’t withstand
weight of sins of word!
What was really
happening there?
Desire of Ages (Chapter 74—Gethsemane)
He felt that by sin He was being separated from His Father.
