Scripture: Matthew 26:36-56 Sermon Series: The Passion of Jesus Sermon: "The Garden of Gethsemane" (Rev. Chadd Huizenga) Worship Folder: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ydde... Reflections: The dreadful sorrow and anxiety, then, out of which the prayer for the passing of the cup springs, is not an expression of fear before a dark destiny, nor a shrinking from the prospect of physical suffering and death. It is rather the horror of the one who lives wholly for the Father... Jesus came to be with the Father for an interlude before his betrayal, but found hell rather than heaven opened before him, and he staggered. ~ William Lane He was without any comforts of God — no feeling that God loved him... God was his sun before, now that sun became all darkness... He was without a God, he was as if he had no God. All that God had been to him before was taken from him now. He had the feeling of being utterly condemned, as when the Judge says: ‘Depart from me, ye cursed... from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power.’ He felt that God said the same to him. Ah! This is the hell which Christ suffered. Dear friends, I feel like a little child casting a stone into some deep ravine in the mountain side, and listening to hear its fall — but listening in vain. The ocean of Christ’s sufferings is unfathomable. ~ Robert Murray M’Cheyne, “My God, My God” It was at this point that Bilbo stopped. Going on from there was the bravest thing he ever did. The tremendous things that happened afterwards were as nothing compared to it. He fought the real battle in the tunnel alone, before he ever saw the vast danger that lay in wait. ~ J.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit
