About this episode
This episode explores Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane as He prepares for the cross, emphasizing His example of seeking God's will in times of trial.
Enter the Garden of Gethsemane to see the agony of our Savior as the cross draws near. Jesus not only shows us that we ought to pray in our trials, He shows us because that is exactly what He did in His hour of greatest need. He goes to His Father; He is honest in His request; He does the Father's will, and He did it all as our substitute. He drank the cup of wrath so that we might drink the cup of God's blessing. It really feels like the holy of holies of the book of Luke. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on May 3, 2026.
