How y'all doing this evening?

It's good to be back.

In the Lord's House.

I missed y'all Sunday.

I'm glad I'm feeling better.

I don't know if I look any better, but I feel better.

You have your Bibles.

Please turn to Luke chapter 22. Luke chapter 22.

sometimes, it's kind of hard to figure out what you want to speak about another Pretty sure waiting leak and tell you that a lot of times you want to speak what's on your mind, but that's not always the wisest thing to do.

Bright.

and just I know we've been going through Joshua, how that Wade continues that.

And a lot of ways, this message will tie into the next chapter and Joshua when we get to see where They took things.

They weren't supposed to take.

and because of that, Got little get defeated.

This last song We sang that last verse it says, when facing death, where can I go?

In a text, we're going to be here in just a minute.

We'll see.

Jesus and agonizing prayer.

Cuz he knows what's coming.

And where does he go?

He goes to the Lord in prayer.

Luke 22. Starting verse 39.

Coming out, he went to the Mount of Olives as he was accustomed and his disciples also follow him.

When he came to the place, he said, then pray that you may not enter into temptation.

And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw and he knelt down and prayed saying, father, if it is, your will take this cup away from me.

Nevertheless not my will, but yours be done then, an angel appeared to him from Heaven, strengthening him and being in agony, he prayed more earnestly than a sweat became, like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

When he rose up from prayer and you come to the disciples, he found them sleeping from sorrow.

Then he said to them.

Why do you sleep?

Rise and pray that you enter into into temptation and while he was still speaking behold the multitude and it was called Jesus and he was who was called you this one of the twelve went before them and Drew nearer to Jesus to kiss him.

But Jesus said to him Judas.

Are you betraying the son of man with a kiss?

When those around him saw, what was going to happen, they said to him Lord, shall we strike them with a sword?

And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right here.

But Jesus answered and said permit, even this And he touched his ear and healed him, then Jesus said to the chief priests captains of the temple, and the elders had come to him.

Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs when I was with you daily in the temple?

You did not try to seize me but this is your hour and the power of Darkness.

Let's pray.

You have a father, we come to you this evening father's, we still your word father father, I pray that you just Magnify yourself through this teaching tonight.

Father, your words not mine father and it's a message that you want us to hear father one that we can take.

The truth.

Father, just be with me as we speak and the clarity voice and feels for your spirit.

This evening, father, Jesus name, I pray.

Amen.

Sonar text Jesus and the disciples are on the brink of the biggest tests and their lives before the night was over, Jesus would be betrayed and arrested and nailed to the cross by the next morning and the disciples would be scattered fearful confused.

And Peter openly, the nine, the Lord.

I want you to think, if you can, about verse 14, verse 46, Jesus comes to them.

He says, pray that you may not enter into temptation, so keep that in in your mind as we go through, if you will You see, Jesus was prepared and he passed this text, not just because he was the son of God, because he was obedient Son of God.

The disciples were unprepared and we seen that they fail.

So here's an observation that can be made about the text.

If you didn't know who Christ was and you come up on the scene to an outside Observer, it would seem that the disciples were prepared for the test of that awful evening.

And that Jesus was not We know that the Disciples boasted of the strong commitment to follow Jesus, their claims were to follow him, if it meant that they would go to prison, even to the point of death.

And it seems, they were not troubled at all, but they did what they were calm enough to sleep.

But Jesus look like an emotional wreck.

And was saying that Jesus was extremely distressed and troubled.

because it was,

Luke 22 verse 44 tells us that he was in so much Agony that his sweat became like drops of blood.

And from the outside looking in one would think that the disciples were ready and that Jesus was falling apart that remember, this is just an observation and observation from the outside, looking in the person to make.

Think they got everything figured out.

But we know that this officer but observation is wrong.

If you're familiar with this text, you know that the disciples were about to fail horribly.

As I was going to go to the greatest trial that anyone has ever gone through.

And Jesus is going through it.

And he does this victoriously.

So what made the difference, what made the difference prayer made the difference?

You see one of the most important things that we can do, as true Christians is to pray.

Why is it that?

Why is that so important?

It's important because the kind of prayer that we see demonstrates from Jesus, is the kind of prayer that doesn't ask for things that we want.

but for the things that God wants us to do,

if we do not pray, as Jesus prayed, we will fall into temptation.

Remember verse 40 and verse 46, pray you'll fall into temptation.

The disciples fail.

So what am I getting at?

Jesus told the disciples pray that you may not enter into temptation Jesus.

Jesus gives only two options in this commandment pray or enter into temptation.

Pretty clear.

We remember how Adam fell and Temptation in the garden.

Why did he fall?

He done this on his own.

He knew what God told him, he is being tempted, but he took it upon himself to see what was going to happen, instead of falling at God's feet.

That he was Jesus the last Adam.

He resisted Temptation and overcame the enemy in the Garden of Gethsemane.

How did he do it in prayer?

If we want to overcome the trials and temptations that hit us, we must learn from our Lord, how to pray as he prayed.

And I know we talked about praying a lot but it is so very important.

There are two ways we can look at this.

When test or Files come away a trial is either a test or it is a temptation as Christians.

A trial can be a test that strengthens us Or Temptation.

That brings us down every trial that we face is either a test of our faith or a Temptation that can be used to cause our faith to fall.

It all depends on how we handle it.

And what is a trial?

What is a trial?

Is it finding money on the ground and keeping it?

When, you know, you need to turn it in.

Good be right.

Is it an opportunity to make ourselves look better at the cost of someone else looking bad?

That's a trial, right?

Could it be that our morning didn't go the way we planned it cuz we plan the perfect day.

Whatever the case may be.
