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.
