Agony of soul Betrayed by Judas (one of chosen disciples)
(mind, will, emotions) No rest: (can only betray those you can look
Emotions greatly stretched in the eye)
God heard and took away (two views of one event: Immediately Judas leading
terror and severity one abstract, one relative; one thing Mob comes/troops
of the inner conflict one is revolting, one welcome after another Chief priests; Pharisees
(Both Gentiles & Jews seized Him)
Sting of death had to
be overcome Head covered with dew For 24 hours Rebellious and forceful;
Death looked Him in face locks with the drops was abused Not in due process;
(wages of sin is death) of night (SOS 5:2) Exposed to rage
Knew He would face hard situation
Bearing the curse of the Law Judas kisses as a sign (marked)
(kissed by traitor)
Sorrow began here His agony worse than Judas stands with enemies
(ended when He said death as He paid personally
“It is finished”) for all sin by being Asked if He is “Jesus of Nazareth”
separated from God (a name of reproach/disdain)
Some fall when He says “I am He”
As thick as cloud was, He -agony of distress He had bound Himself (Showed He could have resisted)
would see God as a Father -struggled inwardly to the work and office
through it of a Mediator Peter cuts off one man’s right ear
Confusion and disgrace Jesus heals man’s ear
His entire submission and --each experience is He bound Himself to
acquiescence to the will different and all are the altar with the cords Bind Him (handcuffs)
of God TERRIBLE (MG) of love and duty to Waived the right of self-preservation
His Father
“Terrible agony” (RJ) They wanted to torment Him
Let Himself be a prisoner
Came to this world to suffer They bound as one already condemned
and went to other world to reign
Victory won in the will Deserted by disciples/abandoned
Began His suffering in the soul A Man of Sorrows One man escapes naked/took his veil (SOS 5:7)
and then in His body Acquainted with grief
Drank the cup because the
Willing to embrace Foresaw: treachery of Judas Made His soul an Father put it in His hand
suffering and shame unkindness of Peter; offering for sin
malice of the Jews;
base ingratitude Voluntary weakness
“I will suffer” Galatians 2:20 “He gave Himself for me” Submits Himself to fulfillment of Scripture
*A cup of wine is the symbol of God’s anger to be drunk to the dregs to some people. That is why Jesus prayed in Gethsemane that He didn’t want to
drink this cup. It was to be the focus of the anger of God. He had never known the anger of God before.
