Mr 14:33 And He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed. 34 Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch."

LK 22:44 And being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground.

The Lord Jesus Christ here was just hours away from being crucified on the cross. At the cross, He will bear the sins of all and be punished for it. If you are still unsaved, realize from the experience of the Lord Jesus Christ here the awful reality of being separated from God forever and ever.  

Martin Luther said: “No one ever feared death so much as this Man!”
If the Lord Jesus was so inwardly shaken to the point that He sweated out great drops of blood at the prospect of bearing the punishment of sin, just imagine what the lake of fire must be like. If you can only see how awful God's punishment against your sin would be you will react just like He did. You would be shaken to the core of your being. And yet, you just take it oh so casually, like it's nothing. Blind people do not know the deep and precipitous plunge that they are facing...until they actually fall into it.

Realize that being separated from God is an awful, awful, awful reality. Listen, be saved from being separated from God forever and ever. Trust in what the Lord Jesus Christ did for you at the cross.

 "... Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God" 1 Peter 3:18

Salvation is Christ's special delivery service of a sinner to God. We cannot bring ourselves to God. We must be BROUGHT to Him. And Christ is the "mobility service provider", God's Uber, if you will, for it.

Ex 19:4 "... I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to Myself." Come on! Ride God's "Uber" by faith in Christ. All rides are free!

An employer posted a notice that he would cancel the debts of his workers if step inside his office, at a certain hour, on a certain day and present their document stating their indebtedness to him. 

When the day arrived, many were gathered outside the office. Outside was a huge signboard containing the message: "All who would step inside the office from 11 am to 12 am would have their debts signed and cancelled at once."   

Many read it with great scepticism. "That's too good to be true!" Many ridiculed the offer saying that it doesn't make sense. And so, many of the debtors remained outside. But one man came and dared to believe in the offer. He stepped inside and presented his papers. 

"Why are you here?" the employer asked. 

"Because you said to come at this hour and all my debts would be cancelled," the man replied.

"Do you believe it?" the employer probed him.

"Yes, I do!" said the man

"Why do you believe it?" the employer queried. 

"Because I know your character. I know that you are somebody who would not deceive anybody," the man responded. 

With that, the employer signed his papers and terminated his debts! The man was overcome with joy. He wanted to rush outside to tell others about it but the employer prevented him saying: "It's not 12 o'clock yet. Stay here and wait for the time." Twelve o'clock came but no one else stepped into the office. Then the man ran outside and showed his signed papers. Upon seeing it, the others darted for the office door, but, it was too late. it was bolted and locked. 

God is making a similar offer on a spiritual plane:  "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16
