Jesus Christ's Agony At Being Abandoned By God For Our Sins

I need to keep the 

following Bible verses 

always in my mind so 

that I never forget the 

great sacrifice Jesus 

Christ made for me 

(and you). Jesus Christ,

the Son of God, was 

innocent (sinless) 

who died for me and 

you (sinners), so that 

we could choose to 

accept or reject his 

death and

resurrection as payment

for our sins and go to

heaven when we die. 

At the bottom of this

post is the good news

of how to know you

are going to heaven

when you die. God is

loving and wanted 

you to know now 

where you will go 

when you die so you

never have to worry

about what comes

after death again!

What freedom and

peace there is in

knowing that so I

hope you read all of

this Bible study.


Matthew 
26:36 Then cometh Jesus 

with them unto a place 

called Gethsemane, and 

saith unto the disciples, 

Sit ye here, while I go 

and pray yonder.

26:37 And he took with him 

Peter and the two sons of 

Zebedee, and began to 

be sorrowful and very heavy.

26:38 Then saith he unto 

them, My soul is exceeding 

sorrowful, even unto death: 

tarry ye here, and watch 

with me.

26:39 And he went a little 

further, and fell on his 

face, and prayed, saying, 

O my Father, if it be 

possible, let this cup 

pass from me: 

nevertheless not as 

I will, but as thou wilt.

26:40 And he cometh 

unto the disciples, and 

findeth them asleep, 

and saith unto Peter, 

What, could ye not 

with me one hour?

26:41 Watch and pray, 

that ye enter not into 

temptation: the spirit 

indeed is willing, but 

the flesh is weak.

26:42 He went away 

again the second time, 

and prayed, saying, O 

my Father, if this cup 

may not pass away 

from me, except I drink 

it, thy will be done.

26:43  And he came 

and found them asleep 

again: for their eyes 

were heavy.

26:44 And he left them, 

and went away again, 

and prayed the third 

time, saying the same 

words.

26:45 Then cometh he to 

his disciples, and saith 

unto them, Sleep on 

now, and take your rest: 

behold, the hour is at 

hand, and the Son of 

man [a title he called

himself] is betrayed into 

the hands of sinners.

26:46 Rise, let us be 

going: behold, he is at 

hand that doth betray me.

Luke 22:44 
And being in an 

agony he prayed 

more earnestly: and 

his sweat was as it 

were great drops of 

blood falling down 

to the ground. 

Luke, the writer of this 

gospel, was a physician, 

and is the only gospel 

writer to tell about Jesus' 

sweat being like drops 

of blood. I looked this 

up online, and sweating 

blood is a rare condition 

called Hematidrosis 

caused by extreme 

anguish (extreme pain

or grief). Also, remember 

that Jesus Christ would 

have known in advance 

every excruciating moment 

of the pain and suffering 

and separation from God

the Father and God the

Holy Spirit that He (Jesus)

was going to endure 

as the substitute for 

your sins and my sins. 

Jesus Christ also knew 

beforehand that he 

would be flogged almost 

to death (beaten with a

whip that had pieces of

metal or bone in it that 

would cut the skin to 

pieces) and also that 

crucifixion (being

nailed to a cross) was 

the most painful type 

of death possible. 

Jesus Christ also knew 

that he would be 

betrayed by a 'friend' 

(Judas Iscariot) who 

had lived and worked 

with him for the three 

years of His ministry. 

Jesus would also suffer 

being mocked as he 

hung there on the 

cross - dying for the 

people who mocked 

Him - the people that 

he had created! 

And to add to all that 

agony, as He was 

hanging on the cross, 

God darkened the sky 

for three hours after

our sins were poured

out on Jesus Christ

because God the 

Father in heaven

could not look on his 

Sinless Son, Jesus 

Christ, because 

Jesus was covered 

with my sins and 

yours! 

Jesus is part of the 

Godhead (God the Father, 

God the Son, and God the

Holy Ghost). Imagine 

how horrible that must 

have been for Jesus Christ 

to be separated from his 

heavenly God the Father 

and God the Holy Ghost 

for sins that he did not 

commit! Listen to Jesus 

Christ's cry to his Father 

in heaven as he was 

dying: 

Mark 15:34

And the ninth hour Jesus 

cried with a loud voice, 

saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama 

sabachthani? which is, 

being interpreted, My 

God, my God, why 

hast thou forsaken 

me? 

I think that we have heard 

about the crucifixion so 

often that we have 

forgotten just how 

excruciating this separation 

from the God the Father 

in heaven was going to 

be for Jesus Christ! 

We are the reason 

Jesus was tortured 

almost to death, nailed 

to a cross, died and 

was resurrected from 

the dead! If we had not 

been sinners, he 

would have had no 

reason to die! Let us 

remember to thank him 

daily for his great gift of 

salvation! 

Ephesians

2:8 For by grace are ye 

saved through faith; 

and that not of 

yourselves: it is the 

gift of God: 

2:9 Not of works, 

lest any man should 

boast. 

And now here is the 

good news of how to

be saved from your 

sins and go to heaven

when you die. 

How Can I Get To Heaven?

How can I be saved 

from my sins and know

that I will go to heaven

when I die? God's Holy 

Word, the King James 

Bible, tells us how:

Agree with God in  

heaven that you are 

a sinner and need a 

Saviour. GOD SAYS 

WE ARE ALL 

SINNERS. But keep 

reading because 

there is Good News 

for you: 

Romans 3:23

For all have sinned, 

and come short of the

glory of God;

Be willing to turn from 

your sin (repent). 

Acts 17:30  

And the times of this 

ignorance God winked 

at; but now commandeth 

all men every where to 

repent: 

Believe that Jesus 

Christ, the Sinless Son 

of God, shed his blood

on the cross to pay 

for your sins and 

mine, was buried, 

and that three 

days later He rose 

from the dead. 

Romans 10:9  

That if thou shalt confess 

with thy mouth the Lord 

Jesus, and shalt believe 

in thine heart that God 

hath raised him from 

the dead, thou shalt 

be saved. 

Repent of trusting in 

anything or anyone 

other than Jesus

Christ (i.e. baptism, 

good works, idols,

false gods, $/tithes, 

man-made church 

rules or traditions,

or religious 

ceremonies) to 

save you.

Titus 3:5

Not by works of

righteousness which we 

have done, but according 

to his mercy he saved us, 

by the washing of 

regeneration, and 

renewing of the Holy 

Ghost;

Jesus said that we do 

not get to heaven by our

good works (stuff we

have done). See verses

7:22 and 7:23 below!

Matthew

7:21 Not every one that 

saith unto me, Lord, 

Lord, shall enter into 

the kingdom of heaven; 

but he that doeth the 

will of my Father which 

is in heaven. 

7:22 Many will say to 

me in that day, Lord, 

Lord, have we not 

prophesied in thy 

name? and in thy 

name have cast 

out devils? and in 

thy name done 

many wonderful 

works? 

7:23 And then will I 

profess unto them, 

I never knew you: 

depart from me, ye 

that work iniquity. 

Accept God's Free 

Gift of eternal life 

through his Sinless 

Son, the Lord Jesus 

Christ. It is a free gift 

to you, but it cost Jesus

Christ his life! You do 

not have to work to 

earn a Gift - It is free!

Romans 6:23

For the wages of sin is 

death; but the gift of 

God is eternal life 

through Jesus Christ 

our Lord.

Ask Jesus Christ to be 

your personal Saviour 

and Lord of your life.

Romans 10:13 

For whosoever shall 

call upon the name 

of the Lord shall be 

saved. 

So, if you did that and

sincerely meant it,

then you are now a

Christian! Welcome

to the family. 

Romans 10:9  

That if thou shalt confess 

with thy mouth the Lord 

Jesus, and shalt believe 

in thine heart that God 

hath raised him from 

the dead, thou shalt 

be saved. 

And when you die, you 

will go straight to heaven

to be with Jesus Christ 

forever and ever! The

following Bible verse

is one of my favorites.

It gave me comfort when

I went through double

breast cancer surgery

for I knew that if I died

on the operating table

I would immediately be

in heaven with Jesus!

Knowing that is why I

no longer fear what 

comes after death. 

What freedom there is 

in knowing that.

2 Corinthians 5:8  

We are confident, I say, 

and willing rather to be 

absent from the body, 

and to be present with 

the Lord.

One note to all dear 

Catholics: The Catholic

church says that it is 

wrong to believe that 

you can know you are 

saved before you die. 

Please think about

this: God is a God of 

love. After all he sent

his Son to die for your

sins so you could be

with him in heaven for

eternity! That is love!

Why would a God of love

want you to worry all of

your life whether you will 

go to heaven or hell when

you die? God in heaven 

wants us to have peace 

and joy in this life as we 

live for him and draw 

others to him as their 

Saviour. Only a cruel 

God would want us 

worried and stressed 

about what comes after 

death. But GOD LOVES

YOU and wants you to 

have peace knowing that

you are saved now and 

can know now that you 

are going to heaven when

you die! Please trust your

loving heavenly Father's 

Holy Word (the King James

Bible) when God tells you 

that you will be with Him 

after death if you trusted

Jesus Christ as your 

Saviour!

And now that you have 

become a Christian, it

is important to learn how

to live a life that glorifies

God in heaven who gave

you the Gift of salvation.
