The bloody sweat of Jesus represents His profound agony and the weight of sin He bore as He prepared for the crucifixion.
The phenomenon of Jesus' bloody sweat in Gethsemane signifies the intense spiritual and emotional agony He endured as He approached the crucifixion. Luke 22:44 describes His sweat as 'great drops of blood,' which is often interpreted as a physical manifestation of His deep distress and the heavy burden of the sins of humanity that He was about to bear. This moment highlights the depth of His suffering, not just physically but spiritually, as He engaged in prayer and wrestled with the impending sacrifice. It underscores His role as the ultimate sacrifice and redeemer, who fully experienced the effects of sin while remaining obedient to the Father's will.
