Please turn in your Bibles to Matthew 26.
Today we are looking at VSS 36-56.
Last time we were together, Jesus and the 11 disciples had finished Passover dinner, and sung an hymn... likely Ps 118... the traditional Psalm sung at the end of the Passover meal.
• They left the Upper Room, departed Jerusalem, and crosses the Kidron Valley heading to the Mount of Olives... a 15 minute walk.
• During this walk, Jesus told them "All of you will be made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written: 'I will strike the Shepherd, And the sheep of the flock will be scattered.'"
• The night was upon them... darkness was ahead.
• Thus, Jesus prepared them... they would fail... they would fall away, but He would not forsake them.
• In fact, He instructs them... after He had been raised, they were to meet Him in Galilee.
• Not just geographically... but He would meet them where they were... and He would re-center them on Him.
Peter, and eventually, all the disciples disagreed with Jesus... they said they would not stumble... they would not deny Him.
That is where we left off.
We pick up in V36,...
• ... first looking at Jesus' prayers in VSS 36-46,...
• ... then at His betrayal and arrest in VSS 47-56...
• ... as Jesus and the disciples now enter, "The Garden of Gethsemane"... our sermon title for today.
Let's Pray!
Matthew 26:36-39 "Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, "Sit here while I go and pray over there."
[Luke adds "Pray that you may not enter into temptation].
37 And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.
38 Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death.
Stay here and watch with Me." 39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will."
1.
Before we look at these verses, I want to mention that in between VSS 35-36, there are 3 chapters of additional teachings that John records.
John Chapters 15-17.
a.
The teaching of the True Vine
b.
The promise of the Helper coming... the Holy Spirit
c.
And, my all time favorite Chapter... John 17... Jesus' High Priestly Prayer.
d.
So, for a rich side study, take a look at John 15-17.
2. So, they arrive in Gethsemane... an olive orchard on the Mount of Olives.
a. Today, if you visit Israel... there is an ancient olive grove.
It's a very serene place... except for all the tourists.
I can only imagine how peaceful it was in Jesus' day...
i.
Not surprising this was a customary place for Jesus to visit, as Luke 22:39 tells us, "...He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed..."
