Luke 22:39–44 (NLT) — 39 Then, accompanied by the disciples, Jesus left the upstairs room and went as usual to the Mount of Olives. 40 There he told them, “Pray that you will not give in to temptation.” 41 He walked away, about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.” 43 Then an angel from heaven appeared and strengthened him. 44 He prayed more fervently, and he was in such agony of spirit that his sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood.

Mark 14:32–36 (NLT) — 32 They went to the olive grove called Gethsemane, and Jesus said, “Sit here while I go and pray.” 33 He took Peter, James, and John with him, and he became deeply troubled and distressed. 34 He told them, “My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.” 35 He went on a little farther and fell to the ground. He prayed that, if it were possible, the awful hour awaiting him might pass him by. 36 “Abba, Father,” he cried out, “everything is possible for you. Please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”

Gethsemane represents humanity's desire to escape discomfort and pressure. 

The pressure Jesus was under:

1. The pressure of appointment
2. The pressure of success
3. The pressure of performance
4. The pressure of responsibility
5. The pressure of rejection
6. The pressure of betrayal 
7. The pressure of abandonment
8. The pressure of obedience

The Secret: Let the pressure on the inside be greater than the pressure from the outside.

How do we deal with pressure like Jesus?

1. Gather 
2. Serve
3. Worship 
4. Pray  
5. Surrender 
6. Trust 

The outcome of pressure endured:

1. Pressure produces diamonds
2. Pressure produces oil
3. Pressure produces refining
   1. James 1:2-4 - NIV "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."

   3. 2 Corinthians 4:17 - NIV "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all."
