In this last sermon from our Courageous series, we studied a time when Jesus demonstrated a perfect example of vulnerable transparency. In Matthew 26:36-39, Jesus honestly expresses His deepest sorrow and grief, even at the risk of exposing His pain to others. Though fully God, He embraced His humanity by inviting His closest friends, Peter, James, and John, into His darkest moment. Rather than hiding His anguish, Jesus allowed Himself to be seen in His sorrow, even as He faced the weight of the cross. His openness didn't stop with His friends; He went even further, bringing His raw emotions before the Father, fully trusting that He wouldn't be rejected or seen as "too much" for God. This passage challenges us to move beyond hiding our weaknesses and to courageously share our burdens with God and those closest to us, knowing we are already accepted, forgiven, and loved through Christ. By this, we can see that true intimacy—with God and others—only happens on the other side of vulnerable transparency.
