Prayer and Temptation, part 2 (Luke 22:39-46)
Paul Johnson, April 14, 2021Part of the Luke on Prayer series, preached at a Wednesday Evening service
In the context of Jesus' admonishing His disciples to pray that they enter not into temptation, and just prior to His arrest, Jesus prays. His prayer is a verbal affirmation of the submission of His will to God the Father's will. So ought we to pray!

Luke 22:39–46
39 And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. 40 And when he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.” 41 And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” 43 And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. 44 And being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground. 45 And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow, 46 and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
