Christ praying in Mark 14.36. A fascinating picture of Christ's humanity as he approached the cross. He fully understood both the physical and mental suffering he would undergo. I suspect that the separation from his father was the worst pain of all, for to be righteous, God as the supreme judge had to punish sin.
Christ's willingness to suffer stands out clearly. "Not what I will but what you will." This is the foundation of the Christian life, that we submit our lives and livelihood to Christ and with him say, "not what I will, but what you will."
