Jesus in Gethsemane, asking Abba to let the cup pass (with Satan tempting him again and Jesus accepting the necessity of fulfilling His mission), seems to me (and I’m wandering out of my Christological comfort zone here) to show that Christ’s suffering was not so much about His pain but ours. His burden – of pain and of the literal Cross – was and remains the sting and the weight of our sins.
A recently published poem of mine arrived at the same conclusion: Just A Thought.
