Scripture is sometimes like a hologram. Move your head slightly and a hidden feature comes into view. I was reading Mark's account of Jesus' prayerful agony in the garden of Gethsemane. At the end Jesus chastises his disciples for sleeping after he had asked them to "watch and pray." Then he says, "It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is to be handed over to sinners." As soon as he finishes, he is arrested, and is indeed handed over to zealous persecutors, cruel torturers, and insensitive crucifiers. . . .
