In Jesus' agonizing struggle in the Garden of Gethsemane, we find some insight into the statement in Hebrews that Jesus "learned obedience through the things that He suffered." We also get another glimpse of both the sovereignty and goodness of God.
The humanity of Jesus is expressed here as in no other passage. In the Garden of Gethsemane the Lord felt real terror and anguish of soul as He contemplated what was about to happen on the cross.
In this most familiar and beloved verse of Scripture, we find three life-changing truths that summarize the gospel.
Using a quote from Psalm 110, the Lord makes it clear that the Messiah is not only the son of David, but also the Son of God.
Peter shares four beautiful truths about Christ that, if pondered, will equip you to fight temptation and provoke you to put your faith and hope in God.
This is one of many passages that make a direct connection between the incarnation and the crucifixion. Therefore, in these two verses we have some very important aspects of our Christology.
The Apostle John wrote his first epistle to encourage his readers to grow in holiness, fellowship and be joyous. He opens his letter by stating what he and other apostles have been proclaiming, namely the truth about Jesus Christ and salvation.
The gospel is further elaborated upon by highlighting two successive phases of the revelation of Jesus Christ to the world: He is the eternal Son incarnate, and the eternal Son exalted.
Mark opens his book with the gospel, or "good news." He introduces John the Baptist as the herald of a new era or beginning in God's working with man. Jesus is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies.
The pre-eminence of Christ over every order of being is repeated in different terms. In the incarnation of Jesus Christ and His subjugation, the Father is well-pleased to offer the solution to the enmity of the world.
