Let's take a look at Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane the night before he was crucified. Instead of putting the text on the blog, we want to challenge you to get out your Bible today and read it from the pages itself.Read Luke 22:39-44.
What characteristics of Jesus' relationship with God the Father do you see? From what we can observe right away, we see that he is stressed, troubled, possibly terrified of what's to come --- he's a mess, and rightfully so. The text says "he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground."
Maybe you were caught by Jesus' humility toward the father. Jesus clearly knows that it was the Father's plan for him to die. How would you feel if you were to die and you knew that God had planned it. Would you get angry?
The Bible shows Jesus not angry (though very troubled); Not hating the plans of God (though maybe terrified of what's to come).
Maybe Jesus could approach his future without anger because He was fully God. Or maybe it was an example for us. Is it okay to be angry with God? Does God welcome us to be angry at Him?
