Summary

I'm not exaggerating when I say that this passage of the Gospel of Mark records Jesus' most intense, emotional low point, full of agony, and absolute dread. Theological liberals will sometimes distort the agony of Christ in this passage while conservatives have sometimes minimized it. In fact, I would say that it has been radically minimized in history, to the point of us missing the main thrust of what is happening here. In addition to the horror and beauty of the moment where Jesus stands alone, the only faithful one, going to die for the world at great personal cost and pain, we have a lot of absolutely WONDERFUL theological insights from the Psalms, Jonah and parallels with the Garden of Eden that give me chills! I can't wait to share it all with you! This is part 61 of the Mark Series, going verse by verse through the Gospel of Mark. Today we are in chapter 14:32-52. See the WHOLE Gospel of Mark playlist here. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHuGenHwUdeiQ5M-uj5XW4sF Here's the 6 video series I mentioned offering a theological, historical, philosophical and rhetorical defense of Penal Substitutionary Atonement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4bTHScjdEo&list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHttVR0rkvhBfA-IKrg5SGcp This is the article about the very recent discovery of a ritual bath from Jesus' time that works well with the idea that olive production was happening in the Garden of Gethsemane during the 1st century. https://www.timesofisrael.com/ancient-ritual-bath-may-mark-first-new-testament-era-find-at-jesus-gethsemane/ I have live videos every Monday and Friday at 1pm Pacific Time. Monday is a Bible study and Friday is a Q&A. Feel free to use my videos in your own gatherings as an aid to studying Scripture.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Mark series Part 61.
0:07.3	Okay, you don't have to watch Part 1 through 60 to give what we're doing today.
0:10.8	Today we're in the Garden of Gethsemane with Jesus.
0:13.2	This is just right before he goes to the cross, right before he's betrayed by Judas.
0:17.8	This is literally the last moment of freedom that Jesus has before he's, you know, traipsed
0:23.2	around from courtroom to courtroom in illegal night courtroom sessions.
0:28.4	We'll talk about that in future weeks.
0:30.3	And then he stands before pilot, then he's put upon the cross.
0:33.3	This is the last moment of freedom.

0:38.8	And this is also Jesus' moment of the most intense agony and emotional and psychological
0:44.1	strain that we see probably of anybody in the individual inside the, the gospels or

0:54.0	There's Mika.
0:55.0	She decided to come and say hi to you guys a little bit.
