Luke 22 — Not My Will, But Thine, Be Done
The Passover; Judas bargains. The disciples prepare the supper. This is my body which is given for you... This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. A dispute among them who should be greatest. I am among you as he that serveth. Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat; but I have prayed for thee. Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. The arrest. Lord, shall we smite with the sword? Peter's denial; the cock crew; the Lord turned and looked upon Peter. He went out and wept bitterly. Mocked. Before the council.
“Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.”

I have prayed for thee. Peter's preservation is rooted in Christ's prayer. The Lord's intercession upheld him through the denial and back.
When thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. Failure is included in the trajectory of usefulness. Peter will fall and rise and feed sheep. So does many a Christian.
Father. The address is intimate even at the height of agony. Sonship is not interrupted by suffering.
Not my will, but thine. The model prayer for the worst night. Honest about the recoil, surrendered to the verdict. The whole school of Christian suffering is contained in this sentence.
The Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. No words; just a look. The look that broke Peter and saved him.
Sometimes the Lord's rebuke comes silently — a memory of His word, a sense of His eyes. The look produced the tears; the tears produced the restoration.
Verse 32 is the comfort for every weak disciple. Christ has prayed for you. Whatever sift Satan asks for, the Lord's prayer goes ahead of the test. Your perseverance is not your strength; it is His intercession working through your weakness.
Luke 22 is the institution of the supper, the agony in the garden, the betrayal, the denial — all the long Thursday night of Christ's passion. Through it all He prays for His own, gives Himself for them, and looks at the failing Peter with the look that restores. The chapter is the Saviour about His Father's business at the cost of His life.
Given for you. The substitution stated. The body is broken on their behalf.
In remembrance of me. The Christian community keeps the supper as the regular memorial. Not a ritual that earns; a sign that remembers — and where He is present afresh to His own.
