Watch With Me - Were the Apostles Experiencing Sympathy Pains?
Manage episode 325166284 series 2964163
We have an Easter Slant on sympathy pains and discuss how watching with people, holding space is helpful, in all challenging situations.
I don’t know if Christ’s apostles could see Him as He prayed. The scriptures aren’t entirely clear. Perhaps they could see Him or yearned to help Him. Or perhaps they could simply feel a small portion of the heaviness and pain projecting from Him as He accomplished the Atonement. They offered “sacred support” in much the way fathers and doulas support their wives and clients through childbirth (see “A Father’s Sacred Support” in The Gift of Giving Life). They could not remove His burden, but I suspect they were able to feel some of the weight of it as they struggled to remain conscious.
