From Agony to Resolve
Commentators like Calvin and Gill highlight a dramatic shift in Jesus. After His intense prayer in Gethsemane, He is no longer struggling with the 'weakness of the flesh.' He rises with new strength, poise, and determination. His prayer equipped Him to calmly and willingly advance toward the cross, showing that sincere prayer provides the strength to face even the most daunting trials.
