Read: Luke 22:39-71
The scripture teaches us about Jesus's faithfulness to God in the midst of trial. He prayed in time of trial. He was betrayed, denied, mocked, put to shame and condemned. On the night before his trial, he went to the Mount of Olives to pray with his disciples. Jesus' prayer on the Mount of Olives reflected the task he had before him. He was about to carry the sins of the world by hanging on the cross.
Jesus prayed for strength at his trial and that his followers wouldn't enter into temptation. It was a difficult time for Jesus but he preserved through pain and fear and submitted to God's sovereign will. His absolute commitment to God's will is an example we should follow.
Jesus was betrayed by Judas Iscariot for 30 pieces of silver, but his main purpose was to lead the Romans. He loved his country and thought that Jesus had failed it by his teachings. Judas Iscariot committed the ultimate sin by betraying Christ, fully aware that it would lead to his death. Peter on the other hand had denied Christ three times out of fear and weakness. Peter was afraid of the danger he might face if he confessed to being Jesus' disciple.
Jesus was also mocked by placing a crown of thorns on his head. They placed a staff in his hand and they struck him. Early in the morning, Jesus was tried and found guilty. He was tortured and beaten. He was lead to the cross at 9 a.m. and died at 3 p.m. and was buried later that day. Christ went through all these sufferings so that our sins will be forgiven.
