Our Lord's Prayer in Gethsemane

August 9, 2015 Speaker: Jim Herring Series: Jesus The King

Passage: Mark 14:27–14:52

Title: Our Lord's Prayer in Gethsemane
Text: Mark 14:27-52

Notes:

Bad news for all of us: None of us has what it takes to follow Christ.
Good news for all of us: Christ has what it takes to lead us.

The Agonizing Truth:
The Father Kills the Son

  • The Father made the Son to be sin.
  • The Father poured out His wrath on the Son.
  • The Father put His son to grief.

Accusation:
Christians are narrow minded, arrogant, intolerant, bigots.

Claim:
Jesus Christ is the only way to God.

Our Defense:
Jesus Claimed it- John 14:
Peter Declared it- Acts 4:12
Paul Taught it- 1 Timothy 2:5
Gethsemane Settles it- Mark 14:35-36

The importance of prayer:
Prayer protects us from the temptaion to respond to crisis in sinful ways.
