The Battle of Gethsemane (Mark 14:32-42)Presented by Jace Broadhurst While I don't know the skies above Japan, the rice patties in Vietnam, or the hills in Afghanistan, I have been in my share of battles. None of them have left me sweating, as it were, drops of blood. But they have been intense battles all the same. Battles with Satan, battles with the world, and mostly, it seems, battles with myself. Maybe you battle to keep from discouragement, battle to show proper love to your wife, battle not to yield to lust on the computer or in real life, battle to pray and read the Bible, battle to respect leaders and bosses and husbands. Do you have any of these battles? In Mark 14, Jesus battles depression--he battles his desire to not be humiliated and crushed. Its a terribly painful battle that he gets through. This sermon will tell you how you too can get through these difficult battles.

Their names were Simple, Slumber and Presumption. They were not alert, they were lazy, they were independent -- and they will never make it to the Celestial City. We all know the road is hard, but what precautions do we take to steel ourselves in regard to our goal? The disciples have traveled for three years with Jesus himself and they still don't get it. They are either lazy, presumptuous, or they refuse to recognize the war in which they must be engaged. What they need is dedicated and committed prayer. Christians, if your prayer life looks anything like mine--falling asleep, distracted, filled with activities that pull us away, then you might need to hear what Mark and the Holy Spirit have to tell you this week.

Here the disciples eat to the words of Jesus that he will be betrayed. Not just by Judas, but he predicts that ALL will fall away. And despite their fall, he calls them to eat his body and his blood. The grace that is in this text is beyond compare.
