The Jesus of the bible is an extraordinary character. He is completely in control. He commands the winds and the waves and they obey him. At his touch people are healed. At his word the dead are raised. By his authority sins are forgiven, and his opponents are put to shame. But in the Garden of Gethsemane, we meet a Jesus who is overcome with sorrow to the point of death. We're given a window into Jesus' intimate relationship with Father, and what his cross meant for him.
Introduction: A Very Different Jesus
1. The Sheep Scattered (30-35, cf. Zechariah 13:7-9)
2. The Saviour’s Treasure (36-46, cf. Hebrews 5:7-9)
3) The Scriptures Fulfilled (47-56)
4) The Substantial Implications
(i) The cross was the only way sinners could be made right with God
(ii) We must never take Jesus' obedience to the cross for granted
(iii) The only right response is to treasure Jesus and live for him.
This sermon was preached at St Mary's Cathedral, KL on 7th March 2010.
