Gethesemane and Calvary are intertwined. As Jesus came to us to do the will of God as the second Adam, his humanity was weak though His Spirit was ready to take the impending cup to save all human beings. He knows very well that the wage of sin is death and eternal separation from Heavenly Father. He was praying earnestly honouring the will of His Father to accomplish His will either by approving this cup to pass away if there is another option or to do His will as He is ready to take it. This shows his complete faith and dependence on His Father during poignant agony. His humanity was like ours and he was under severe pain and fear as any one of us can feel. But The Last Adam was obedient to by His free choice as Isaac obeyed His father Abraham.

Gods grace will see you thru anything that we go thru in this life..... He knows how much we can bare.

Alexander Lennox's comment on 2012-02-12 07:02:36:

It borders on blasphemy for some to suggest that Jesus in a moment of fear was reluctant to go to the cross and is prompted by that fear to ask his Father to let the cup of death pass from him.
His prayer in verse 39 had more to do with what was going on in Gethsemane than what was to happen at Calvary. In gethsemane Jesus was being crushed by all that Hell could throw at him, and in his humanity he might have thought that he might die there before he had a chance to get to Calvary so he cries out in his anxiety "Lord let this Cup pass from me" Fear is the fruit of sin, and Jesus was sinless, therefore fearless. what ever propted him to pray that prayer, it was not fear
