CHAPTER

The Struggle of Eden

John 12 is such a powerful place to see it because it's right before the Last Supper. Even at that early stage Jesus sees in the distance a looming cross, a darkened garden and knows where he's headed. The Greek word there, being straighten, can also mean distressed other translations often will use that term instead but it literally means to hold together so tightly nothing can fall apart. A straight on the map is a tiny little sliver of ocean that's being crushed between two protruding land masses. That's how Jesus feels. On the one hand my humanity and divinity are being torn apart, the schism of soul that we see in Jesus.
