It’s a moment when our world stops turning. A change so abrupt, so pronounced, that it shocks our very soul.

Here’s why it slams us so fast and hard: While we look at Jesus in the pages of the unfolding Gospels—allowing ourselves to walk closely alongside Him through those three exciting years of ministry—words like authoritative, assured, and fearless truly describe Him. He’s unfailingly steady and controlled.

But there comes a moment, as we follow Him into “a place called Gethsemane,”1 when all is radically changed. Suddenly we encounter a Savior we’re unfamiliar with. What we observe is foreign and frightening.

Jesus “began to be greatly distressed and troubled,” Mark’s Gospel tells us.2 “He began to be gripped by a shuddering terror and to be in anguish,” one translation renders it. Other versions use the words horror, deep alarm, dismay.

This is a consuming, crushing agony for Him, utterly unlike anything we’ve previously observed.
