6. Dr. Adrian Todd - www.gatewaychurch.org.uk www.gatewaychurch.org.uk Jesus in the olive-press We see Jesus under intense pressure in the garden  he says, “my soul is deeply grieved to the point of death”  he sweats great drops of blood  he asks for the cup to pass  the sin of the whole world is coming upon him  this produces intense physical, mental and spiritual pressure

7. Dr. Adrian Todd - www.gatewaychurch.org.uk www.gatewaychurch.org.uk What pours out? Concern for others  pray that you may not come into temptation (see Lord’s Prayer & John 13-17)  heals servant’s ear Chooses obedience to God  remove this cup pass from me, yet not what I will but what you will (see the last supper)  he chooses the cross (see rebuke of Peter) The work of the Cross pours out from this

9. Dr. Adrian Todd - www.gatewaychurch.org.uk www.gatewaychurch.org.uk Oil from the Anointed One Olive oil is often thought of as a symbol of the Holy Spirit John the Baptist - I baptise you with water, but he will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and with fire  it is the Holy Spirit who supplies us with enabling power to live like Jesus  but that means dying to self first  the only way to get oil is by pressing olives
