Message: The gospel according to Luke Text: Luke 22:39-46
~Jesus’ struggle with the Father’s will.
~My struggle with the Father’s will.
Who is present: (Jesus) Satan, Father, an angel, disciples
In Gethsemane the human part of Jesus is struggling with God the Father as every human struggles with God over our will versus God’s will. What were they struggling over…or who were they struggling over?
These struggles always involve choice, in this instance the choice to love…to love someone else more than yourself. Jesus loves you and had to choose to love you again.
Luke 22:34 Father forgive them…
vs 35 the rulers
vs 36-37 the soldiers
vs 39 one criminal
Do you know anyone who is worthless? Jesus’ love for you has nothing to do with what you do, it is for what you are, you are His!
The cross is the measure of God’s love for you…nothing else.
