angelsm, "Jesus, knowing that He was the sacrifice, asked if the cup could be passed from Him......why?" Becasue as a true man He dreaded death and suffereing just as we do. he did not suppress his human emotions with his divine will. Rather "he was tempted like us in all thing, but was without sin." (Hebrews 2:18; 4:15) Jesus Himself taught us to pray to the Father, "lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Sometimes "lead us not into tempatation is translated as "put us not to the test.." in mathew 6:13. This was also Satan's last and most powerful temptation of Jesus, "the hour of darkness."(Luke 22:53) You will recall that after the temptation in the desert at the beginning of Jesus' ministry, the "the devil departed from him until an opportune time."(Luke 4:13). But Jesus submits Himself to the will of the Father does not take "the cup" away, but sends and angels to "strengthen Him." (Luke 22:42-42) Emmaus |
