The peace and calm of Jesus didn’t make sense. On a base level, human beings are self-preservationists; most creatures naturally are. We avoid suffering or pain, and we don’t like feeling threatened. When our safety is threatened, our brains and bodies prepare to fight or run away, and nobody would have blamed Jesus, human as he was, for choosing either of those options. But, Jesus was also the Son of God, and after tears and fear in the garden, he chose to trust his father in a new way.
