our Lord's agony in the Garden of Githsemini.

This is the apex of his life of sorrow and grief.

This is the high point of tortuous suffering.

This is the night when he anticipates the drinking of the cup of divine wrath, which will

be his in full at the cross.

Welcome to Grace to you, the Bible teaching ministry of John MacArthur.

I'm your host, Phil Johnson.

Have you ever been confused when you heard someone say that Jesus is fully God and fully man?

Well, you're not alone. It's a reality that can make your head swim. The great preacher Charles Spurgeon explained, Christ is not humanity deified, and he's not Godhead humanized. He is God. He is man. He is all that God is and all that man is as

God created man. You got that, right? Well, one thing is clear. As a man, Jesus suffered, and the

clearest example of his suffering is, of course, the cross.

But there is an aspect of his suffering before the cross that you may not have thought

much about, but one that's critical to understanding what Jesus went through to save sinners

like you and me. John MacArthur unpacks that important aspect of Christ's sufferings today as he continues

his series, The Divine Drama of Redemption. So now here is John MacArthur with the lesson.

As we come to chapter 14 of Mark and verses 32 to 42, we come to a very familiar account of

our Lord's agony in the Garden of Githsemini as he

wrestles with the reality of the coming cross later that day.

This is set on Friday in the middle of the night the very day he was crucified and died.

As we approach verses 32 to 42 in our ongoing study of our Lord's death and resurrection,

it might be good for us to remember that the prophet Isaiah gave us a prophecy directly of

the Messiah's suffering.
