Question

What made Jesus sorrowful BEFORE his arrest?

Answer 1

He sweated Blood Camille, It is in Luke’s gospel where we see that His sweat was like drops of blood: “And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground” (Luke 22:44). “Hematidrosis” is a rare, but very real, medical condition where one’s sweat will contain blood. The sweat glands are surrounded by tiny blood vessels. These vessels can constrict and then dilate to the point of rupture where the blood will then effuse into the sweat glands. It’s cause – extreme anguish. In the other Gospel accounts, we see Jesus’ level of anguish: “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death” (Matthew 26:38; Mark 14:34).



The intense anguish and sorrow Jesus felt was certainly understandable. Being God, Christ knew “all that was going to happen to Him” (John 18:4). He knew in painstaking detail the events that were to follow soon after He was betrayed by one of His very own disciples. Although our Savior never lied (1 Peter 2:22; Isaiah 53:9), He knew was about to undergo several trials where all of the witnesses against Him would do nothing but lie. He knew that many who hailed Him as the Messiah only days earlier would now be screaming for His crucifixion (Luke 23:23). He knew He would be flogged nearly to the point of death before they pounded the metal spikes into His flesh. He knew the prophetic words of Isaiah spoken seven centuries earlier that He would be beaten so badly that He would be “disfigured beyond that of any man” and “beyond human likeness” (Isaiah 52:14). Certainly these things factored into His great anguish and sorrow, causing Him to sweat drops of blood. Yet there was more.

Answer 2

Jesus' sorrow was building up in stages from the moment the Passover Ceder was over. First he poured his heart out to the Father in prayer, then he noticed that the disciples fell asleep, and finally we have Judas betraying him with a kiss. It is hard to imagine how sorrowful Jesus must have felt by that point. I hope this helps.

Answer 4

What made Jesus sorrowful BEFORE his arrest?



If Jesus didn't agonize over death itself then what was it that made Jesus so sorrowful even BEFORE he was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane?



The cup Jesus dreaded -- the cup He drank for His people -- was the cup of his Father's wrath against unrepentant sinners and the wicked. By drinking from this cup Jesus became sin for us (Isaiah 53:4-6). Because of Christ's action, we do not have to drink of God's wrath. As a matter of fact, we shall be protected from it. Notice Paul's words in Romans 5.





8. But God commends His own love to us because, when we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9. Much more, therefore, having been justified now by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. (Romans 5)



Paul also writes the church in 1Thessalonians:





" . . . and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come." (1Thessalonians 1:10)



"For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, . . . " (1Thessalonians 5:9-10)



So there is no doubt that if it were not for Jesus WE would all be facing the wrath of God. In drinking the cup of God's wrath, Jesus not only took our sins away, He opened the door for our future to be spent with Him in the Kingdom of God:





"And they sang a new song, saying: 'You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals. For You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and have made us kings and priests to our God. And we shall reign on the earth.' " (Revelation 5:9-10)



In closing, here's a quote out of Roger Rusk's book The Other Ends of the Earth:





"Who died on the cross? The Blessed God, the God of Splendor of Genesis 5:12-17, who came down teaching that his death would bring comfort to the despairing. Who died on the Cross? The smoking furnace and the burning lamp who walked between the pieces of death pledging his life as a surety for the promises of Abraham. Who died on the Cross? The Husband-Redeemer of Israel, who loved his adulterous wife so much, that he desired to transform her into a chaste virgin whom he could marry again. Who died on the Cross? The Born Child whose name is Wonderful Counselor. The Son Given, whose name is the Everlasting Father. Who died on the Cross? The Mighty God who bared his strong arm in the eyes of all nations, and all the ends of the earth have seen his Salvation. Who died on the Cross? The Coming Prince of Peace."
