Series: Lent

We have already explored the happenings of Palm Sunday. We now find ourselves at Holy Thursday with Jesus. On this day we find Christ (the Anointed One) under pressure in the garden of olive groves known as Gethsemane (which means “oil press”). Here we have a real window into the humanity of Jesus as he feels two different desires: to do the will of the Father and to have this cup removed from him. The drama of this dark hour ends with these words, “they all left him and fled.” Jesus is left alone to go it alone. Our study this week is called: Under Pressure.
