ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Agony in the Garden

Okay kiddo, so you know when sometimes you feel really really sad or scared about something that's going to happen or something that happened in the past? Well, something like that happened to Jesus a long time ago before he was going to be arrested and killed.

Jesus went to a garden with some of his friends and he felt really really sad and scared because he knew that he was going to be in a lot of trouble soon. He felt so upset that he even started to bleed!

But, Jesus talked to God and he felt better knowing that God was with him and would help him no matter what. Jesus knew that what he was going through was really hard, but he also knew that he was doing the right thing so that people could learn about how to be good to one another.

It's okay to feel sad and scared sometimes, but it's important to talk to people that we trust and to God if we believe in Him, so we can feel better like Jesus did.
