Why did Jesus ask God to “let this cup pass from me”? | GotQuestions.org

In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed three times, pleading with God to "Let this cup pass from me." What exactly was this terrifying "cup" that made the Son of God—who was fully human—sweat blood from extreme anguish? Was there any other way to redeem mankind, or was this suffering and crucifixion the only path to our salvation? We break down the meaning of this desperate prayer, why Jesus's flesh recoiled from the cross, and what His ultimate submission to the will of God reveals about His mission to save the lost, even when it meant facing spiritual and emotional agony. Watch to understand Jesus's battle in the garden and the powerful lesson for us when our flesh is weak and we face trials. In this video, Pastor Nelson answers your question: Why did Jesus ask God to “let this cup pass from me”?
