Luke 22:35-46 — *The Personal Question: What did Jesus have to face FOR YOU?
*The Passage’s Point: Sixth, He had to face the coming agony of the cross.
*The Passage’s Proof: Jesus FACED the Coming AGONY of the cross by:

1.) PRAYER (vv. 36, 41-44) – (Take-Away: This is Jesus’ darkest hour before the cross; He is human and looks for relief, but regardless of His agony, He submits to the Father’s will FOR YOU!)

2.) PASTORING (vv. 37, 45-46) – (Take-Away: At His darkest hour before the cross, Jesus STILL pastors His people showing You the resoluteness of His grace FOR YOU!)

Final Take-Away: What kind of love is this? It is a love unknown to any love ever experienced or will ever be experienced in the history of this world, fallen as it is now. And yet it’s all yours in Jesus if you receive it? Will you receive it?
