Gethsemane
The Garden of Agony
"And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground."— Luke 22:44
In the darkness of the garden, our Savior faced the weight of all humanity's sin. Alone, He chose to drink the cup the Father had given Him.
The Scourging
By His Stripes
"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."— Isaiah 53:5
Many lashes tore His flesh. Every wound was for our healing. Every stripe absorbed our pain.
The Crown of Thorns
Mocked as King
"And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!"— Matthew 27:29
They crowned Him in mockery. Yet He is indeed the King of Kings, wearing thorns so we might wear crowns of glory.
Via Dolorosa
The Way of Suffering
"And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha."— John 19:17
Step by agonizing step, He carried the instrument of His death. The weight of the cross was nothing compared to the weight of our sin He bore.
Golgotha
It Is Finished
"When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."— John 19:30
Three words that changed eternity. The debt was paid. The work was complete. The sacrifice was accepted.
The Tomb
Three Days of Silence
"And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed."— Matthew 27:60
In the darkness of the tomb, death itself was being conquered. The seed was planted. The promise was kept.
The Resurrection
He Is Risen
"He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."— Matthew 28:6
The stone is rolled away. The tomb is empty. Death has been swallowed up in victory. He is risen indeed!
He is not dead. He is risen!
