Welcome to A Year in the Bible with Daily Grace. This year we want to spend a few minutes with you every day walking through our study Christ in All of Scripture. Each week we will dive deeply into two passages of Scripture, one from the Old Testament and one from the New, seeing how they connect and point to Jesus.

Whether you are doing the study yourself or just following along with us here, we are hopeful that through studying these passages each week, you will see how Christ is not only present throughout the entire Biblical story, but the center of it. Hey friends. Welcome back to another episode of the Year in the Bible. My name is Alexa and I'm here with my co host for the week, Emma.

Hi everyone. So far this week we have been in the Old Testament taking a look at job one verses 20 through 22. And now we are going to turn to the New Testament and look at Matthew 26 verses 36 through 46. So we're going to read that together. It says, then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane and he told the disciples, sit here while I go over there and pray. Taking along Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. He said to them, I am deeply grieved at the point of death. Remain here and stay awake with me. Going a little farther, he fell face down and prayed, my Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me yet, not as I will, but as you will. Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He asked Peter, so you couldn't stay awake with me one hour. Stay awake and pray so that you won't enter into temptation. The Spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Again a second time he went away and prayed, my Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done. And he came again and found them sleeping because they could not keep their eyes open. After leaving them, he went away again and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more. Then he came to the disciples and said to them, are you still sleeping and resting? See, the time is near. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up, let's go see my betrayer is near. So Alexa, how was this annotation day for you?

Overall it was really good because this is probably one of my favorite passages in scripture for so many reasons that I'm going to wait to share with you all tomorrow, but just some things that stuck out to me when annotating. I really appreciated the prompt that asked us to circle the words that describe how Jesus is feeling in verses 37 through 38. So I circled sorrowful, troubled, and deeply grieved, which I think just speaks volumes about what Jesus was facing, which was his death on the cross. Jesus isn't just a little bit sad or anxious about what he. What's going to happen.

He is deeply troubled, 100%. I think from this passage, we really get to see a clear picture of Jesus's humanity. I think a lot of times it's really easy to focus on his, you know, the way that he's divine and holy and he is the son of God, which is all very true. And he is also human in this passage. And I think we just. We really see those emotions fleshed out. That again, Jesus, kind of like you said, Jesus isn't just like a little bit, you know, bummed out that this has to happen. He is. He is overwhelmed with sorrow. And so we get to really see the human picture of feeling that in this specific passage. Alexa, did you have any more takeaways?
- [03:30]
Alexa
Yeah, I thought I would mention that prompt that asks us to note any attributes of God in the text. I think that what Jesus says to God when he says, yet not as I will, but as you will and your will be done, that just teaches us about God's sovereignty. In God's perfect sovereignty, or his control over all things, he wills things to happen. And to go back to our discussion yesterday, because God is good. His will is good. Everything that he wills is good. And so we'll go into more detail on this tomorrow. But God in his sovereignty is willing Jesus's death on the cross, and that actually connects to another of God's attributes that I think we see. And that's when Jesus says, let this cup pass for me, and if this cannot pass unless I drink it. So here Jesus is talking about God's judgment, which was often described as a cup being poured out. Jesus knew that he was going to experience the full weight of God's judgment on the cross. And that judgment is God's justice for our sin. So that's another attribute that we see here. God being just as he is, justly punishing sin, but it's. It's Jesus taking on this punishment, not us.

Emma
I love that. And I love that you kind of bring out a little bit about God's judgment, because I think we sometimes only think. Think that God's judgment exists in the Old Testament, but it does occur in the New Testament, and we get to see it kind of displayed here and displayed on the cross as well. And I think that's really important as we understand sin and we understand the fallen nature of man and that God is being just and he is rightly punishing sin. But it is through Jesus in the New Testament that we see this. So thank you all so much for joining us today. As we walk through this passage, we will dive a little bit deeper into the passages that we've talked about this week tomorrow. So we'll see you then.
