In the garden, Jesus speaks of a cup. Not the cup of the new covenant they had just shared at the table. This is the cup He once asked James and John about — “Are you able to drink the cup I am about to drink?”  Read More

And in the middle of it all, Jesus calls Himself The Human One. Not detached. Not insulated. Not floating above the pain. Human. Fully stepping into betrayal. Fully stepping into suffering. Fully stepping into death.  Read More
