Jesus Left the Comfort of Heaven
Teaching:
Jesus experienced hematohidrosis as He carried the sins of the world.
Our salvation is free for us but costly for Jesus.
Jesus’ prayer in Gethsemane is humanity’s greatest prayer.
Application:
Revisit the Garden of Gethsemane.
Live worthy of the suffering of Christ.
Pray the greatest prayer and give up worldly comfort.
Discussion:
What comfort are we willing to give up for the glory of God?
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, You left the comfort of heaven and became fully human just to save us. You saw how destitute we are. You saw that we are doomed to eternal separation from God. You carried the burden of my sins and nailed them to the cross so that I may have a new life. So, Lord, empower me to live worthy of Your suffering. Enable me to give up worldly comfort in order to serve You better. From now on, let me pray the greatest prayer: ‘Father, not my will, but Your will be done.’ Amen!
