Praying Like Jesus Part 1 – Luke 22:39-45
Lords Prayer
Before we begin today’s sermon would you join me in praying the words our Lord taught us to pray?
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be donein earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: Amen
Introduction
Please stand for the reading of God’s Word.
Luke 22:39-46 ESV And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. (40) And when he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.” (41) And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed, (42) saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” (43) And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. (44) And being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground. (45) And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow, (46) and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

Last week we talked about preparing for the coming battle, a battle that would take spiritual preparation and physical preparation.We spent a good deal of time talking about the spiritual preparation of putting on the full Armor of God.And we spent a good deal of time talking about the physical preparation and how Jesus told His disciples they needed to bring physical swords for the coming battle.This week we begin talking about exactly what battle was being prepared for… the coming battle is about to begin, and the stage is set in a garden, with the disciples sleeping and the Savior crying out to God with such passion that He sweats blood!I want to spend two weeks covering this passage, because there is a lot to unpack, and I spent an hour and a half preaching last week and I don’t want to do that to you again!

Praying like Jesus… that’s what we are going to be talking about for the next two weeks…Because here in this passage we see one of the most powerful examples of what Jesus’ prayer life looked like…And there could not be a more pressing, dire, righteous, loving, and passionate prayer to study then that of our Lord’s the night of His betrayal.
