He harnessed fear.
He prayed more fervently and he was in such agony
of spirit that his sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood -
Luke 22:44
Fear, anxiousness, nervous, or other intense feelings - How we handle these emotions usually defines whether we become a hero or a coward.
Fear, Angst, and apprehension can even make a person sweat blood. Jesus knew this.
How did Jesus prepare for the suffering? He fortified himself with prayer.
He went on a little farther and fell face down on the ground, praying, "My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me.
Yet I want your will not mine."
Matthew 26:39
In the flesh, Jesus didn't want to go through the suffering; but in his heart he wanted to do the father's will more than his own.
