GethsemaneMy soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death what is troubling Jesus so much here ? Is he feeling sorrow for the men who will be caught up in the coming events ? Sorrow for knowing those closest to him will betray and deny him ? Abba Father , everything is possible for you . Take this cup from me . Yet not what I will but what you will . Jesus realizes the pain and suffering the coming events will cause for everyone , even into the future . Asking the Father if there is another way , to avoid all the pain others will bear . but God the Father is silent . there is no other way . If you ever hear someone say that a prayer hasn ' t been answered because their faith was weak . look to this passage . who has more faith than Jesus ? And yet the answer was no .
