The Agony in the Garden, and the "suffering of the Christ"
Manage episode 451131405 series 3617374
Talking about a pivotal moment in the passion of Jesus, the "suffering of the Christ," and...a cup (?)
THere's a lot more going on in the agony in the garden than meets the eye. In this episode I take you through the richness of this moment and peel back some theological layers to shed light on some of the mysteries we encounter in the scriptural narrative. At the bottom of the episode I explain the significance of "the cup" that Jesus asks the father to let pass from him, what it means, and why it has a deep significance beneath the surface of the statement.
