We are in the midst of a season of celebration in the Judeo-Christian world. For followers of Judaism, this is the deeply treasured season of Passover, where members of the Jewish faith remember being spared of God’s wrath by having their houses covered in the blood of a sacrificial lamb. On this day, Good Friday, Christians across the globe remember Jesus – as on this day nearly 2000 years ago, Jesus died on the cross for our sins. As we continue learning from Jesus’ journey to the cross, we finally arrive at the pen-ultimate station: the day of his crucifixion. We will look at the account of Jesus praying at the Mount of Olives in the garden of Gethsemane to see the lengths a loving God was willing to go for a people who rejected Him.
