About this sermon
Greg Koukl and Amy Hall explain why Jesus' anguished prayer in Gethsemane—"Let this cup pass from me"—is not a contradiction of his divine knowledge or purpose, but a powerful expression of his humanity. Jesus fully understood his mission and the necessity of the cross, yet still expressed deep emotional pain in anticipation of the suffering he would endure. His prayer was not a rejection of God’s will, but a model of submission through lament. Greg and Amy emphasize that expressing pain to God, even when the outcome won’t change, is both biblical and deeply human. #STRask #StandtoReason #Apologetics #Christianity #BibleQuestions #Prayer ————— SUBMIT YOUR QUESTION ————— If you'd like to submit your question ahead of time for the Stand to Reason broadcast, or if you'd like to submit a question for the #STRask podcast, fill out our form at https://www.str.org/broadcast. ————— FIND MORE FREE TRAINING ————— Website: https://www.str.org/ Stand to Reason University: https://training.str.org/ Stand to Reason Apps: https://www.str.org/apps ————— CONNECT ————— Twitter: https://twitter.com/STRtweets Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/standtoreason93 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/standtoreason LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/stand-to-reason/ ————— GIVE ————— Support the work of Stand to Reason: https://str.org/donate
