Topic: Sorrow
You don't hear it often, but it can be one of the saddest sounds you'll ever hear: a grown man brought to tears by his circumstances. Is it wrong for a man to cry? No, not at all. Tears reveal the tremendous passion we have for what's important.

Consider Jesus. He had passion. He wept over the death of a friend. He warmed to the company of children. And on the night of his death, He was filled with great sorrow.

The scene was the Garden of Gethsemane. Christ had invited Peter, James and John to be with Him. Why? Matthew 26:38 says, "Then He said to them, 'My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.'"

Notice the drama of the wording. Christ was not just full of sorrow, He was EXCEEDINGLY sorrowful. He knew what His mission was. It was to offer Himself as a sacrifice for mankind. What tremendous passion and courage that took.

The story of Jesus in Gethsemane is contained in Matthew 26. Read it for yourself, and relive the passion Christ has for you.
