But soon after, the reader realises that the Gethsemane event is more than just a regular prayer. Jesus is in this place with a heavy burden in his heart. For what and whom specifically is he suffering? As one whose mission is to save sinners, is Jesus here as Saviour (Matt 1:21)? As Emmanuel, is he here with the representatives of his people (v. 23)? Be that as it may, in his Gethsemane agony, he faces inner struggles, temptation and abandonment; inner conflict because his human will clashes with the Father\u2019s will; temptation because of the conflict between his willing spirit and the weak flesh; abandonment because he is figuratively alone with none to assist or console him. However, with integrity and faithfulness to his God-given purpose or mission he courageously embraces this suffering and is willing to die a cruel and unjust death because he knows that that is what God wants for him. He exhorts his disciples to do likewise and continue to journey with him courageously through the many challenges ahead (Matt 26:46). In Matthew\u2019s vision, those who follow Jesus are to emulate him by watching and praying and accepting God\u2019s will in every situation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-526b0e4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"526b0e4\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c6f5b88 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c6f5b88\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43bfef5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"43bfef5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Keywords:<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0d1628d elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"0d1628d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"article-keywords\">\r\n  <div class=\"kw-inline\">Jesus, intratextual links, intertextual allusions, sinners, suffering<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<style>\r\n  .article-keywords {\r\n    margin-top: 0.5rem;
