"Messiah's Prayer of Anguish" Mark 14:26-52
Last week we continued our teaching series in the book of Mark. It was the first day of Unleavened Bread and Jesus had sent two of His disciples to prepare the Passover. The feast would be held in an upper room, which would be furnished and ready for them. During the Passover, Jesus declared that there was one among them who would betray Him. Later in the feast, Jesus introduced what would become known as the ritual of the Lord's Supper. As they partook of the bread and the w**e, Jesus revealed that the bread represented His body, and the cup of w**e represented His blood of the (New) Covenant, "which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins" (Mark 14:22-24; Matthew 26:28). This week we will pick up where we left off at the close of the Passover Seder. After singing a hymn, Jesus and the disciples departed to the Mount of Olives. Earlier, Judas had left the feast to carry out his evil scheme to betray the Lord. When they arrived at the garden of Gethsemane, which was at the foot of the Mount of Olives, Jesus took Peter, James, and John with Him to spend time in prayer. As He left them for some personal prayer time, the scriptures tell us that Jesus was "deeply grieved". He was about to be betrayed, arrested, and eventually crucified. He was in great anguish, not only over the coming physical suffering, but He also had great stress over the spiritual agony of "bearing our sins in His body on the cross" (I Peter 2:24). Jesus appealed to His Father to possibly "remove this cup" from Him, but had resolved above all to do the will of His Father (14:36). After this prayer, He returned to His disciples, for the time had come for His betrayal and arrest. I hope you will join us this Friday night for Shabbat services, as we study and learn from this solemn, heart-wrenching scene in the garden of Gethsemane.
Services begin at 7:30 P.M. We will have uplifting worship, a special Torah devotional, our message in Mark, and warm food and fellowship at the close of our service. Come join us for a great time of worship and fellowship.
