A SHARP CONTRAST

1. The Lord Jesus sought God the Father in earnest prayer.

a. His sorrow drew Him to pray even more earnestly.
b. His prayer life was strong and sound.

2. The Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ.

a. The Lord Jesus did not ask all the Disciples to watch with Him.
b. He chose only three Disciples for this (Peter, James and John).
c. But they could not stay awake, watching in prayer.

A CANDID DESCRIPTION GIVEN

“When He rose up from prayer, and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow. Then He said to them, ‘Why do you sleep? Rise and
pray, lest you enter into temptation.’”

Luke 22:45-46

1. The Lord Jesus had come to an end of His prayer session.

a. He had accepted His Father’s Will.
b. He will drink the cup that His Father had given Him.
c. It would be a very bitter cup to drink indeed.

2. He came to His Disciples.

a. They were sleeping soundly.
b. They had felt the sorrow of the Lord Jesus.
c. But they could not watch in prayer though they had tried.

ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM

1. “Why do you sleep?”

a. The Lord Jesus sought to encourage them despite their failure.
b. He urged them not to yield to the weakness of the flesh.

2. “Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation.”

a. The challenge was to rise up.
i. It would take some effort to arise and pray.
ii. But the effort would be worth it.
b. The temptation
i. The word “temptation” may also be called “testing”.
ii. The test of their faith and strength would come.

3. The Testing of the Disciples.

a. They had all declared that they would be with the Lord faithfully.
b. The testing would come shortly.
c. How would they fare if they were to be tested severely?
d. Without praying earnestly, would they find the needed strength to face the test?

经文：路加福音 22：45-46

一个鲜明的对比

1．主耶稣恳切祷告寻求天父

a．祂的悲伤促使祂更加恳切地祈祷

b．祂的祷告生活坚强而健全

2．主耶稣的门徒们

a．主耶稣没有叫所有的门徒和祂一起警醒

b．祂只选了三个门徒（彼得、雅各和约翰）

c．但他们警醒祷告时，无法保持清醒

一个坦率的描述

“祷告完了，就起来，到门徒那里，见他们因为忧愁都睡着了， 就对他们说：‘你们为什么睡觉呢？起来祷告，免得入了迷惑。’”

《路加福音 22：45-46》

1．主耶稣已经结束了祂的祷告

a．祂接受了祂父的旨意

b．祂会喝祂父给祂的杯

c．这确实是一个非常苦的杯

2．祂到门徒那里

a．他们睡得很熟

b．他们感受到主耶稣的悲伤

c．他们虽然尝试警醒祈祷，但却做不到

解决问题

1．“你们为什么睡觉呢？”

a．尽管他们失败了，主耶稣仍设法鼓励他们

b．祂勉励他们不要屈服于肉体的软弱

2．“起来祷告，免得入了迷惑。”

a．挑战是站起来

i．起来祷告需要一些努力

ii．但这努力是值得的

b．迷惑

i．“迷惑”这个词也可以叫做“考验”

ii．他们的信心和力量的考验即将到来

3．门徒们的考验

a．他们都宣称要忠心与主同在

b．考验很快就会到来

c．如果他们将面临严格的考验，表现将如何呢？

d．如果不恳切祷告，他们会找到所需的力量来面对考验吗？
