Not My Will, But Thine Be Done: Gethsemane, the Cross, and the Resurrection
On this Resurrection Sunday, Pastor Chuck Rains takes us deep into Matthew 26 to explore the tension between human will and divine purpose. In the Garden of Gethsemane, as Jesus prepares for the cross, we witness not only His obedience but also the disciples’ failure to watch and pray. This powerful message brings to light the cost of surrender, the burden of intercession, and the unmatched hope of the resurrection. A timely reminder that God’s will, though costly, is always perfect.
Show Notes:
•📖 Scripture Focus: Matthew 26, especially verses 29–46
•💡 Key Themes:
•The disciples’ good intentions vs. their actual choices under pressure
•Jesus’ prayer in Gethsemane: wrestling with the Father’s will
•The nature of true surrender: “Not my will, but Thine be done”
•The cost of missed opportunities in prayer and obedience
•The proof of God’s will and love in the resurrection of Christ
•🛠️ Practical Takeaways:
•Spiritual strength requires watchfulness and prayer, not just good intentions
•God’s will is revealed not always in the moment, but often in hindsight
•The resurrection is God’s ultimate affirmation of Jesus’ suffering and our salvation
•Faithfulness is choosing surrender—even when we don’t understand the purpose
•🕊️ Reflection: Are you willing to let go of your will and embrace God’s—even when it hurts?
Quote of the Episode:
“There is no greater evidence of the will of God in a matter… than this: the resurrection.”
