This post will give another understanding of what happened in the garden of Gethsemane........

In John 12:27 Jesus is speaking about going to the cross when saying "this hour".  this verse confirms that Jesus was not going to ask his FATHER to save him from "that hour."  "Now my soul is troubled and what shall I say; Father save me from this hour?  But for this purpose I came to this hour."

If Jesus, in the garden, then did ask to be saved from "this hour"  then this would make him a hypocrite.  Jesus knew he had to die, it was his purpose to die.  Jesus was determined to do his FATHERS will and he was not asking to avoid the cross in the garden.  Jesus had no problem "drinking the cup" but he knew that the wrath of his GOD and FATHER would come upon him as it says in Isaiah 53:4-5 & 10.  "Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows, yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God and afflicted.  He was wounded for our transgressions he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon him and by his stripes we are healed.  Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him He has put him to grief when you make his soul an offering for sin." Jesus saved the church from this wrath to come upon the world as well as provide atonement for sins.  What Jesus was asking for is that this wrath of his FATHERS would quickly pass away "after he drank the cup".  The FATHER answered the prayer of Jesus and allowed Jesus to die very quickly when compared to many others that were killed on a cross.  Jesus died after only six hours; this was such a short time and it amazed Pilate, Mark 15:44. "Pilate marveled that he was already dead and summoning the centurion, he asked him if he had been dead for some time."   

 Romans 5:9 Having been justified by his blood (for forgiveness of sin) we shall be saved from the wrath of GOD through him (this cup).

 John 3:36 "He who believes in the son has everlasting life and he who does not believe the son shall not see life but the wrath of God abides on him."    

1 Thessalonians 1:10 "and to wait for His son from heaven whom He raised from the dead even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come."

 The Messiah, Jesus, did not ask his GOD and FATHER to avoid the cross but rather to make the time of the wrath of his GOD and FATHER upon him to be taken away after he drank the cup.  Jesus died very quickly to the amazement of Pilate but he did feel the wrath of GOD so that the church would not. 

Please consider these words. The other article about this subject was not totally correct but I think this article is correct.
