Gethsemane (Part 2)
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In "Gethsemane (Part 2)", Steve Gregg discusses the events leading up to Jesus' arrest and crucifixion. He explores the mysterious incident of a young man who fled naked after laying hold of Jesus, as well as Peter's failed attempt to defend Jesus with a sword. Jesus ultimately accepted his suffering and betrayal, rejecting violence and defending his spiritual kingdom through non-violent means. Gregg draws on this example to emphasize the importance of trusting in the sovereignty and vindication of God rather than engaging in self-defense or violence.
