  • Summary

  • How many Roman soldiers does it take to arrest one man? If the man is Jesus of Nazareth... hundreds. On the night of His arrest, Jesus's reputation was that of power and miracles. The Romans were taking no chances. In the Garden of Gethsemane, we see the Lord of all creation humbling Himself to take the place of humanity. He knows His arrest will end with death by crucifixion. But what happens on that night in that Garden has far more inciteful details than most biblical readers have fathomed, like who was that young man who ran away from the soldiers naked after being stripped of his loin cloth? Or the High Priest's servant whose ear is cut off? Why are these and more events even included in the biblical narrative? On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, theologian Rick Renner explores his new book for adults and children, "Easter: The Rest of the Story." He explains how even the most minute details of the various scenes in the Garden are important to understanding who Jesus is and what He came to do. He is God incarnate, come into the world to pay the penalty of sin for all of humanity, for all time. Easter celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead. It is the cornerstone of Christianity. Without it, nothing in the Garden makes sense. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
