The Cross Wasn’t Plan B: Why Satan Was Scared (Mark 14) | #80

About this episode

Zach and Jill discuss the pivotal moment in Gethsemane from the Gospel of Mark, exploring themes of prayer, betrayal, and divine will.

Today Zach & Jill visit one of the most human, and most holy, moments in the Gospel of Mark. In Mark 14:26–42, Jesus leaves the table, returns to the Mount of Olives, and enters Gethsemane. He tells the disciples they will all fall away. Peter insists he never will. And then Jesus does the unthinkable: He falls to the ground and prays for the cup to pass, while choosing the Father’s will anyway.
