After praying His High Priestly Prayer in John 17, Jesus crossed the brook Kidron with His disciples to the garden of Gethsemane, where the events leading up to Easter began to unfold. Historically, the story of Jesus’ arrest, crucifixion, and resurrection has been marked out in several ways—but among them, Scripture invites us to stop and observe the series of questions posed both by Jesus and those around Him that propel the biblical narrative forward.
In this series, Alistair Begg traces the questions laced through Jesus’ journey from His arrest to the first recorded post-resurrection encounter. Beginning with Jesus’ inquiry to His disciples, “Shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?” and ending with His probing entreaty to Mary, “Why are you weeping?” we see repeatedly how doubt and indecision give way to revelation and rejoicing as men and women come face-to-face with the reality of the risen Christ and the new life He brings in His wake.
