But in another sense, he also willed to be located in time and space at a certain place.

And so, again, that's part of the conosis or the willful limiting of all of his divine attributes

and powers in the sense of exercising them so that he could assume our nature, right?

So that's a fundamental teaching of St. Paul in terms of how we

understand this. And so what's happening in the garden is that Jesus is overcoming what we call

the blameless passions. And so that would be things like that you kind of have a natural

revulsion to pain or death, right? So, you know, if a truck is coming at you down the road, you kind of have a natural revulsion to pain or death, right? So, you know, if a truck

is coming at you down the road, you kind of jump out of the way. And that's, that's a healthy,

natural thing that you have because God implanted that in our nature so that we would avoid,

you know, dangerous situations and death. So Jesus wasn't immune to any of those things, right? One thing he was

immune to was, and this is why there's a virgin birth, is what we call the blameful passions.

So Jesus didn't have, you know, inordinate sexual desires, you know, that came from within,

you could say he didn't have temptations towards vice because he's a divine person but he did

experience temptations in the sense of these things being presented in front of him or the

what we call the blameless passions of him desiring to uh you know avoid death so what he's doing

in the garden if you read st maxim, he has a good, it's

at the last, you know, 23. He explains that Jesus is actually healing the weaknesses of our nature

by willfully submitting to the will of God the Father. So it has nothing to do with, like, whether

or not he's divine or not.

It's the whole action of everything Christ is doing in his life is submitting that the human will to the divine will to deify and transcend.

Excuse me, to deify the human will so that it can transcend both the blameful and the blameless passions.

Does that make sense? I know that's kind of a mouthful.
