II.Jesus’ Power On Display

vv.26-28

Zechariah 13:7 ESV

“Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, against the man who stands next to me,” declares the Lord of hosts. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; I will turn my hand against the little ones.

vv.29-31

Zechariah

Pride comes before the fall

Not only was Jesus powerful enough to perceive hearts but he knew the future.

As we said last week. This was all according to plan.

III.Jesus in Prayer

vv.32-52

Jesus leaves the disciples to pray alone. (3rd time)

1st in the dessert before his ministry started

2nd before he stated “I AM”

3rd Before his Death

Jesus is in complete Agony

Dr. Vickers: Sometimes we get so caught up in the end of the story that we miss the agony and trauma of the passion. This is gut wrenching.

Just as Jesus wept over Lazerus before raising him from the dead he wept for the moments ahead where he would be forsaken by his father.

“Not my will but yours”

If you discovered you would die a brtal death in 24 hours how would you spend your evening?

If Jesus, knowing the heart of God, can pray about this than we have no excuse not to pray to move the heart of God.
