How Human of a Moment was the Garden of Gethsamane?
"I tried for three years, it seemed like 90! Why then am I so afraid to die?"
These are words of Jesus in Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Jesus Christ Superstar." How human of a moment was this for Jesus? If he was the Son of God then why would he be so fearful and reluctant - as the musical portrays?
Or was he really reluctant? What was the source of Jesus' concern that night? What was he saying to the Father? Did he really want out? Was he wondering what the sense of the last three years was all about? Most of all, what does this moment say to you about the person of Jesus?
