For generations, many people have operated under an uneasy truce: they believe God is dead but still try to keep Him alive in their spare time. Alistair Begg insists that in contrast, the church must clearly show the world that we believe Jesus Christ proved Himself the living God by His messianic mission. This proof starts with His suffering and death—the picture of a distressed Christ, who knows our human weaknesses.
39And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. 40And when he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.” 41And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed, 42saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” 43And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. 44And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.7 45And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow, 46and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
