WHY DID JESUS SWEAT TURNED TO BLOOD? SEE WHY Luke 22:41 And JESUS was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 22:42 Saying, Father, if YOU be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but YOURS, be done. 22:43 And there appeared an angel on to him from heaven, strengthening him. 22:44 And being in an agony JESUS prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. The mental pressure arising from our Lord’s struggle with temptation, so forced his frame to an unnatural excitement, that his pores sent forth great drops of blood which fell down to the ground. This proves how tremendous must have been the weight of sin when it was able to crush the Saviour so that he distilled great drops of blood! This demonstrates the mighty power of his love. It is a very pretty observation of old Isaac Ambrose that the gum which exudes from the tree without cutting is always the best. This precious camphire-tree yielded most sweet spices when it was wounded under the knotty whips, and when it was pierced by the nails on the cross; but see, it gives forth its best spice when there is no whip, no nail, no wound. This sets forth the voluntariness of Christ's sufferings, since without a lance the blood flowed freely. No need to put on the leech, or apply the knife; it flows spontaneously. No need for the rulers to cry, “Spring up, O well;” of itself it flows in crimson torrents. If men suffer great pain of mind apparently the blood rushes to the heart. The cheeks are pale; a fainting fit comes on; the blood has gone inward as if to nourish the inner man while passing through its trial. But see our Saviour in his agony; he is so utterly oblivious of self, that instead of his agony driving his blood to the heart to nourish himself, it drives it outward to bedew the earth. The agony of Christ, inasmuch as it pours him out upon the ground, pictures the fulness of the offering which he made for men. Do we not perceive how intense must have been the wrestling through which he passed, and will we not hear its voice to us? “Ye have not yet resisted on to blood, striving against sin” Behold the great Apostle and High Priest of our profession, and sweat even to blood rather than yield to the great tempter of your souls. |

How did the author know what he was saying when he was praying, when according to the author, every other person there was asleep? |

sonmvayina:to explain this let me remind you that the authorship if the Bible is the Holy Spirit, perhaps the Holy Spirit revealed to Luke what happened at the place when there was no body with clear consciousness to prove the event A statement like this disproves Moses authorship of Genesis, how can he knew what happened in chapter 1 when he was not there |

Okezie5Regs:. There is no evidence of this assumption of yours. What the story simply says is that his disciples— the 11 left behind after Judas left — were asleep, not that everyone else around was asleep. ![]() 2. I disagree! ![]() |

sonmvayina:Fear because what he would pass through and no human being willing go through what he would go through that will not fear. Coward........ Can YOU do what Jesus did ?? Can you die for people and not just people, people you don't know. That are not your friend.He is a God but in this case he is a human being like you. |

Jesus was between two extreme ends! He knew that his death is the only thing that could bring salvation to obedient mankind {Mark 10:45} and he knew that his death will come from the Jews {Matthew 20:18} so what makes all this difficult for Jesus to swallow like a pill when he already knew what will happen to him? Well the truth is that Jesus has been the same angel who has been standing for the salvation of God's people {Daniel 12:1-3 compare to Matthew 23:37-38} but then Satan who knows Jesus very well now wants it to be difficult for Jesus by using the religious leaders of the Jews to accuse Jesus of blasphemy against the same God that Jesus has been representing throughout his life as an angel and human! ![]() How will coming generations of Abraham believe that the Messiah who supposed to save mankind was executed as a blasphemer? And to worsen the matter he was accused, arrested, charged, tried, found guilty, sentenced and executed dramatically as if he actually did what these people accused him of! So Jesus wasn't feeling bad because of his own life rather he was crying bitterly because of the real children of Abraham who will find it really difficult to believe that such a person could be the Christ. His statement: “Father, if you want to, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, let, not my will, but yours take place.” Luke 22:42 Shows that he wasn't pleased with the whole scenario but God sent angels to console him {Luke 22:43} WHY because no matter what Satan does some will believe in Jesus and that's exactly what later happened after his ascension when the promise of God regarding the anointing of Holy Spirit happened on the day of Pentecost where 120 Jews were given the Holy Spirit. Act 2:1-4 That day many Jews who thought Jesus was a criminal were stabbed in the heart when Peter reminded them the promised that will be fulfilled if the Messiah comes {Act 2:14-36} can you imagine how they feel? Well this is what they said to Peter and the other Apostles: “Men, brothers, what should we do?” Act 2:37 That very day about 3,000 Jews became believers in Christ Jesus. Try to visualize how happy Jesus will be whenever he is at that very moment! Luke 15:7 God bless you and may you have PEACE! |

delkuf:Why not,if I get to live forever.... He only sacrificed his weekend. (That if he existed) . You would do it. But truth be told, nobody asked him to. He was arrested and tried and executed...that is not how to perform a sacrifice. It is slit in the throat, the blood allowed to flow and then burnt. Why did he not go and meet the priest to perform it properly. God never gave the Romans the power to carry out sacrifice on his behalf. The story has too many holes, like a Swiss cheese to be true. Thanks. |

Okezie5Regs:Moses never wrote Genesis. No serious scholar believes that. The Torah was written by a group of priest lead by Ezra, that's why most of the information are from Babylon myths. The gospels began life anonymously, meaning no one knows who wrote it. If you claim inspiration, why are the names of the two thieves unknown? It just a poorly written story, little wonder they have been editing it since Nicea.... |

sonmvayina:i ask him to die for me. I will continue to thank God for giving me his son to die for me. That is the greatest thing ever done for mankind. You may not understand it but there are millions of people that has realized the importance of his death and they are grateful for him dying for our sins. I will forever be grateful. If I was there I would ask him to die for my sin. |
| Re: Why Did Jesus Sweat Turned To Blood? See Why by sonmvayina(m): 11:57am On Mar 26, 2025 |
delkuf:What is death? And when did God start accepting human sacrifice? So if you were in the crowd, you would have been shouting for him to be killed? The heart of man is really wicked. Are you a yahoo + guy? |
| Re: Why Did Jesus Sweat Turned To Blood? See Why by delkuf(m): 12:51pm On Mar 26, 2025 |
sonmvayina:1. The sacrifice of Christ is beyond death. The death of the Lord Jesus gives us the life to live beyond death. 2, who are those that sin Are they human or spirit 3. The crowd didn't know that they were doing the Lord's work. If it be for the sacrifice of my sin, yes I would want the Lord Jesus to be crucified |
| Re: Why Did Jesus Sweat Turned To Blood? See Why by sonmvayina(m): 6:27pm On Mar 26, 2025 |
delkuf:1. First and foremost where did the idea of God sending anybody to come and die for the sins of anybody come from? It is pagan if you ask me. Human sacrifice belongs to the realm of Lucifer. It has got nothing to do with the creator of heaven and earth. Who forbids us in one of his commandments "Thou shall not kill" it does not make any sense? God already provided a solution to the problem of sin...see 2nd chronicles 7:14. It does not involve any human sacrifice. That is what a loving God will do, not ask for a human to be killed to please you. 2. Humans sin and humans are to ask God for forgiveness. That is what he asked. Not human death or sacrifice. 3. Lol. When did God plan that a human has to die before he would forgive us our sins. Looks like what Allah would do. Not the creator of heaven and earth. |
| Re: Why Did Jesus Sweat Turned To Blood? See Why by delkuf(m): 8:46pm On Mar 26, 2025 |
sonmvayina:1, if humans sin and there is no human being ready to pay the price of their sins, how will the price of there sins be paid. Or are you ready to die for the sins of the world. Can you die for someone else. There is no human being that is ready to do what Jesus did not even you. You cannot take a slap for your neighbor not to talk of dying for him. If there is no human being that is ready to die for the sins of the world how would the sins of the world be paid. 2, human sin and ask God for forgiveness, if God forgive human and human sin again and again, how long will God continue to forgive human. Don't you know that God also run out of patience. That was why you see God keep destroying this world and repenting of it. God destroyed this world with water during the time of Noah. He also destroyed sodom and Gomorrah with fire, what do you think God would use to destroy this generation. God would have wipe us away from the face of the earth. This generation that is full of sin. By now I don't think there would be anyone in earth. God is a merciful God but he also grow out of patience and get angry. If not for the death and resurrection of Jesus, there won't be any Earth by now. That life that you so like would be blown away by God. So this world needed Jesus |

delkuf:Where did you get the idea that God want us to kill somebody for him before he forgives us our sins? That sounds like what Allah will do,, not the creator of heaven and earth. He said confess and forsake, I will forgive. Is that not ok and sufficient for us. Or are you advising God to accept human sacrifice? |
| Re: Why Did Jesus Sweat Turned To Blood? See Why by Petalss(m): 12:03am On Mar 27, 2025 |
sonmvayina:Please show us where Allah says kill or sacrifice so your sins will be forgiven. I found one that says otherwise: But whoever repents after his wrongdoing and reforms, indeed, Allah will turn to him in forgiveness. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.” (Quran 5:39) |
| Re: Why Did Jesus Sweat Turned To Blood? See Why by delkuf(m): 6:13am On Mar 27, 2025 |
sonmvayina:this is not kill. No body is killing any body for God. This is human sacrifice of the sins of the world. This is the price to pay for the sins of the world. And there is no other way. Only that a human being would die and pay the price of the sins of the world with his body. And Jesus has done it once and for all. Now we are save |
| Re: Why Did Jesus Sweat Turned To Blood? See Why by sonmvayina(m): 1:03pm On Mar 27, 2025 |
delkuf:When did God plan all these in the Tanakh? This idea is pagan. God said "confess and forsake....I will forgive, When did he say he would send his son to die for sin. You are being deceived my friend. How can a God who hates human sacrifice and even goes as far as calling it an abomination suddenly turn around to ask for the death of somebody as a remission for sins. Death is the wages of sin.....does not make sense at all |
| Re: Why Did Jesus Sweat Turned To Blood? See Why by sonmvayina(m): 1:06pm On Mar 27, 2025 |
Petalss:I mean command his followers to kill unbelievers... The Torah and the Qur'an are on the same page on this one. |
| Re: Why Did Jesus Sweat Turned To Blood? See Why by delkuf(m): 1:14pm On Mar 27, 2025 |
sonmvayina:you don't believe in Jesus Christ and you are saying am being deceived. The one reason why the Lord Jesus came us to die for the sins of the world. Guy, let me continue to be deceived and you continue today and ask forgiveness and sin tomorrow and ask for forgiveness. Then sin next year and ask for forgiveness. But know that there is level to the patience of God. And God gets angry |
| Re: Why Did Jesus Sweat Turned To Blood? See Why by sonmvayina(m): 1:55pm On Mar 27, 2025 |
delkuf:God is after a contrite heart. A broken spirit you will not spurn. Psalm 50. Jesus came from where? Jesus dying for sin is nobody's plan. It is not God's plan. Why do you believe in it? No body sent him to die(that's if he even existed) God already gave the Jews the solution to the problem of sin. It does not involve human sacrifice. See 2nd chronicles 7:14. Is that not sufficient for you? Or you don't believe God's word. Why are you advising or imposing on God to accept a human sacrifice? |
