Entering Temptaion

Commentary on the Gospel of Luke: The English Text with Introduction, Exposition and Notes Jesus in Gethsemane (22:39–46)

We now enter into the inner sanctuary of the Gospel history and behold the awe-inspiring commencement of our Lord’s passion—a suffering which ended only after He had endured the experience of being totally forsaken by God on the cross, and entered into the obscure depths of death. Here, at the commencement of this passion, we see the final drama of His voluntary and complete self-surrender to God.

Commentary on the Gospel of Luke: The English Text with Introduction, Exposition and Notes Jesus in Gethsemane (22:39–46)

In every normal person there exists the urge to continue to live, accompanied by an aversion from suffering and death. Obviously, therefore, Jesus, who was completely Man and not subject to any blunting of His emotions or to any form of inward hardening, is infinitely more sensitive in His feeling of repugnance to unnatural things. It is impossible for Him, in His perfect humanity, not to experience a feeling of opposition to the idea of impending humiliation, suffering and death. And all this is made the more intense through His knowledge that He is not only going to suffer and die, but that He will have to undergo this as the expiatory sacrifice for the sin of guilty mankind. The holy and just wrath of God against sin fall on Him in full measure, because He has put Himself unreservedly in the place of guilty mankind
