Alastair's Adversaria

CHAPTER

Prayer in Great Agony

At the very beginning of his ministry, jesus was tempted in the wilderness. Here he provides an example of faithful prayer for those who face such temptation. He is ministered to by an angel, as he was after his temptation. In mark's account, struggles in prayer in great agony. It might be worth observing that luke describes much more the agony of jesus prayer in gessemane than he does the agony of the crucifixion. This, in many ways, is the heart of the struggle and where the battle is most pitched.
