February19, 2023- Sunday AM, Pastor Moon, Grappling with Grief in Gethsemane - Mark 14:32- 42
Have you ever gone through a traumatic time in your life when you felt like your troubles or trials were choking you to death or tearing out your insides? Perhaps, the stress from your situation was so intense it robbed you of your ability to sleep and your desire to eat anything because your stomach was tied up in knots. People who have lost a loved one in death, suffered a divorce, lost a friend, or have a wayward, child understand the gravity of grappling with grief.
This is where we find the Lord in this portion of Mark. With a holy hush, we will witness the most traumatic, gut-wrenching moments in the life of the Lord Jesus Christ up to this point in His holy life. We will see His divinity as well as His humanity as He grapples with the grief caused by fear, isolation, loneliness, willfulness, and the contemplation of the horrors of crucifixion.
Watching the Lord grapple with grief in Gethsemane will provide for us insights and Biblical principles that we can put into practice in our own lives when we grapple with grief in our own Gethsemanes. Let’s take our time and learn as much as possible from the Lord.
