We began Jesus Centric with a look at the idea that Jesus is “making all things new.” This formed our foundational purpose for the four Gospels – and ultimately every Jesus-Centric book of the entire God Story. For two episodes we now return to the Gospels to dig more deeply into the character and purpose of each one – kind of like a next level dive.
This session considers Episode 6 and discusses the concept of Garden to Garden. We began in Eden and we will return there. It is not coincidental that the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives is where Jesus spent His most intimate times in prayer as He gathered with His disciples and drew closer to fulfilling His purpose.
Next episode we will return to a deeper dive into the power of each Gospel, building on the foundation you established in episodes 1-12. Cool!
