Troubled Feelings

Text: John 12: 27

TROUBLED FEELINGS

Jesus is indeed the true Saviour. We need to remember that He had come in the form of Man. Thus, He would also experience troubling feelings at times. This is normal. We have all had such troubling feelings.

“Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour? But for this purpose I came to this hour.’” 

John 12:27

1. “Now My soul is troubled”

a. A human being has two parts essentially.

i. The external part, which we call “the body”, or “the flesh”.

ii. The internal part, which we call, “the soul”, or “the spirit”.

b. That which is sometimes troubled.

i. The inner being is sometimes troubled.

ii. It may be affected by feelings.

iii. The emotions are then ruffled badly.

2. “And what shall I say”

a. Jesus shares with us how we may deal with these troubled feelings.

b. This was a special way of teaching His disciples.

3. The first option is considered

a. “Father, save Me from this hour?”

b. Should Jesus offer this prayer?

i. It is not unnatural to ask to be saved or delivered from death.

ii. Many prayer requests for deliverance from death are presented to God from many people.

4. A deeper option is next considered

a. “But for this purpose, I came for this hour.”

b. Jesus had mentioned this thought many times.

i. He had been sent for a purpose.

ii. He would suffer and die to fulfil God’s plan of salvation.

c. Purpose versus feelings

i. Jesus refused to give in to normal human feelings.

ii. He would choose fulfilling God’s purpose and be prepared to lay down His life for the world.
