In this powerful message, Pastor B walks us into the Garden of Gethsemane found in Matthew 26:36-46, where Jesus wrestled with sorrow, the weight of cup, and the will of the Father. Facing the cross, Jesus was crushed under emotional, spiritual, and physical agony—not for His sins, but for ours.

The “cup” Jesus prayed about symbolized God’s wrath against sin. Yet, in love, He chose to drink it so we could receive mercy. Through intense, surrendered prayer, Jesus modeled dependence on the Father and showed us how to endure hardship through Spirit-empowered prayer.

Though the disciples' spirit was willing, their flesh was weak—just like us. Jesus’ example reminds us that strength to obey comes through intimacy with God in prayer. In the garden, Jesus said yes to suffering so we could say yes to grace.
