We see, lastly, in these verses — an example of the feebleness of the best of saints. We are told that while our Lord was in agony — His disciples fell asleep. In spite of a plain injunction to pray, and a plain warning against temptation — the flesh overcame the spirit. While Christ was sweating great drops of blood — His apostles slept!Passages like these are very instructive. We ought to thank God that they have been written for our learning.They are meant to teach us humility. When apostles can behave in this way — then the Christian who thinks he can stand, should take heed lest he fall.They are meant to reconcile believers to death, and make them long for that glorious body which they will have when Christ returns. Then, and not until then, shall we be able to wait upon God without bodily weariness, and to serve Him day and night in His temple.
