The Jesus Way Week 7 Study Materials

In this powerful exploration of faith, we delve into the heart of Jesus' struggle in the Garden of Gethsemane, as depicted in Matthew 26:36-46. This pivotal moment reveals Jesus' ultimate desire for God's will above all else, demonstrating what it truly means to be human as God intended. We're challenged to confront our own desires and will, recognizing how sin has distorted them. The message draws a stark contrast between Jesus' obedience and our own struggles, reminding us of Paul's lament in Romans 7. Yet, we're not left without hope. The core of this message is a call to believe in Jesus' power to transform our desires and empower our will, just as He overcame where Adam failed. It's an invitation to trust in Christ's victory and allow the Holy Spirit to reshape us into true representations of Jesus to the world.
