42. Saying Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.43. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.Luke 22:42-43. Jesus knew what the will of the Father was. Jesus was on His way to the cross for our sake. The cup Jesus speaks of is not death, but the wrath of the Almighty on sinners. Psalm 75:8. Jesus at the time of His death became the enemy of the Almighty. Charles Spurgeon speaks of what Christ endured. All hell was distilled into that cup, of which our God and Savior Jesus Christ was made to drink. Adam in the garden lost the battle with Satan, having done his will and not God's. Christ for our sake won the victory over Satan having done what God wanted even in the face of His death. Jesus proves that He has been formed a little lower than the angels He created. He received comfort from an angel He created. Sadly the angel is doing the work the sleeping disciples failed to do. Amen.
