Message: “The Agony of the Son and the Slumber of the Saints” from Shawn Merithew

In the garden of Gethsemane, when Jesus was standing on the cusp of bearing both the wrath of man and the wrath of God for sinners, more than anything, He wanted time with His Father in prayer. When we, as Christians, are faced with such incredible difficulty and pain, there is always the temptation to despair, to depend upon ourselves, or to turn to other worldly avenues to cope. But the reality is that there is only one true and lasting comfort – the comfort of Christ in prayer.
