Small Group Discussion Questions: Read Mark 14:32-42
1. Why do you think Jesus shared His feelings with His disciples?
2. What do we learn about how to pray in your darkest hour?
3. Share one instance where you saw God’s hand at work despite the difficulty facing you.
4. Read the following quote and discuss what the author means “then he wakes with Christ in Gethsemane”?
“When a man really gives up trying to make something out of himself—a saint, or a converted sinner, or a churchman (a so-called clerical somebody), a righteous or unrighteous man,… when in the fullness of tasks, questions, success or ill-hap, experiences and perplexities, a man throws himself into the arms of God… then he wakes with Christ in Gethsemane. That is faith, that is metanoia and it is thus that he becomes a man and Christian.”
— Dietrich Bonhoeffer
5. In light of what Jesus endured in Gethsemane and on the cross, what change is God asking you to make in your life? What priorities need to be different? Is what you are pursuing with your life worthy of what Jesus did for you?
