JESUS ' Model to Know God's Will

By Robert B. Munger
Experience of the Father's trustworthiness!

JESUS ' Model to Know God's Will Matt. 26:36-46  


I. His strong assurance. "Father."



  • The character of God. 

2. His encouragement. "My father!"



  • Experience of the Father's trustworthiness. 

3. His outreach for others. "Watch with me!"



  • Wanted others with Him in the struggle. 

4. His acknowledgment of need. "Sorrowful--even to death!"



  • Owned His feelings openly--amazing freedom from guilt! 

5. His acceptance of individuality. "A little farther!"



  • Willingness to go it alone. Ultimately we stand before God as a solitary! 

6. His persistent appeal. "If it be possible!"




  • The petition not answered--the person was! His dominant desire always had been to glorify the Father (John 17:1-5) and save the lost (Luke 19:10). That deepest prayer was heard! 

7. His acceptance of the Father's better Way. "Never-the-less." 


8. His immediate experience, inner peace, and power endure. 


9. His ultimate answer, His resurrection, ascension, and outpoured spirit.
