Physical and Emotional Pain
Matthew 26:36-56
  • Jesus felt alone because of the selfishness of his friends (choosing to sleep instead of praying for him)
  • Share: Jesus prayed so intensely that his capillaries burst and mixed with his blood (I have a medical account for you)
  • Question: Jesus could have stopped this but he didn't. Why do you think he was willing to sweat blood for you  (He loves you)
  • Afterwards Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss (they arrested him and his words came true; the disciples all scattered)
Pain of Being Disowned and Beaten
Matthew 26:57-75
  • They spit in Jesus' face and beat him with their fist. Have you ever been spit on?
  • Jesus looked straight at Peter after the 3rd denial and the rooster crowed - He was that close to Peter - Luke 22:61
  • How do you think this made Jesus feel? Why do you think Jesus continued to go to the cross? (He loves you)

Key Phrase: Jesus felt alone because of the selfishness of his friends
