Episode #5: Christ Prays During A Stressful Time (Luke 22:39-46)
Knowing he would soon be arrested and put to death, Jesus prayed. Let's look at some of the characteristics of the prayed He prayed during this stressful time:
(1) It was customary for Him to pray.
(2) He teaches that prayer helps prevent temptation.
(3) He submitted to God's will, even though He asked out of the situation.
(4) An angel came and strengthened Him because of the prayer.
(5) He prayed so earnestly that he sweat profusely.
There are many lessons here to be learned. Christ taught a daily prayer, as captured in what is called His Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 6). This prayer, however, if different. It is a prayer for a time or stress.
The key points seem to be that prayer is the "go to" remedy when you have difficulty and stress, it is pivotal in not allowing that stress to lead you into temptation, that God's will is to be asked over your own preference, and that God will minister to you if you are praying honestly and humbly - perhaps, sending angels to strengthen you as well!
