Garden of Gethsemane

Before Jesus would endure the physical suffering you've just considered, He would experience emotional and spiritual torment that was far greater.

In the garden, the full scope of Jesus' mission became readily apparent. Jesus knew, once He left the garden, all that would occur: the treacherous betrayal by one of His own; being derided and made sport of by soldiers; a circus trial in which guilty politicians proclaimed judgment on an innocent man; brutal beatings; and then, the cross, the bearing of your sin and mine.
