<h2>77. CHRIST'S PRAYER IN GETHSEMANE</h2>
|
|
<p>The characteristics of the prayer of Christ are:—</p>
|
|
<p>1. It was a <b>lonely</b> prayer. He withdrew Himself about a stone's cast from His disciples, as He went to prayer (<a id="fem77-si1" onclick="return mV('Luk',22,41);">Luk 22:41</a>).</p>
|
|
<p>2. It was a <b>humble</b> prayer. In Mark, we are told Christ "knelt," and in Matthew, that He fell upon His face. The attitude of His body in an indication of the posture of His spirit.</p>
|
|
<p>3. It was a <b>filial</b> prayer. He does not say here, as He did afterwards, "My God," &c., but "Abba Father." The former reminds of God's dealing in judgment with sin: the latter is the Father making known His will (<a id="fem77-si2" onclick="return mV('Mar',14,36);">Mar 14:36</a>).</p>
|
|
<p>4. It was an <b>earnest</b> prayer (<a id="fem77-si3" onclick="return mV('Luk',22,44);">Luk 22:44</a>; <a id="fem77-si4" onclick="return mV('Hbr',5,7);">Hbr 5:7</a>).</p>
|
|
<p>5. It was a <b>repeated</b> prayer. He used "the same words" (<a id="fem77-si5" onclick="return mV('Mat',26,44);">Mat 26:44</a>).</p>
|
|
<p>6. It was a <b>persevering</b> prayer. He prayed three times (<a id="fem77-si6" onclick="return mV('Mat',26,44);">Mat 26:44</a>).</p>
|
|
<p>7. It was a <b>resigned</b> prayer. "Not My will," &c. (<a id="fem77-si7" onclick="return mV('Luk',22,42);">Luk 22:42</a>). "'My will, not Thine, be done,' turned Paradise into a desert; and 'Thy will, not Mine be done,' turned the desert into a Paradise."</p>
|
|
<p>8. It was an <b>answered</b> prayer. In <a id="fem77-si8" onclick="return mV('Luk',22,43);">Luk 22:43</a>, we are told an angel came and strengthened Him.</p>
