Jesus's victory over death at Golgotha is a well-known pearl of his Gospel. What is less understood is how Christ also defeated hell in Gethsemane. In John's Witness, author Ian R. Harvey illuminates this missing pearl to deepen our understanding of God's boundless love. John was the sole eyewitness to the events in Gethsemane, and yet his own pearl of the account is altogether absent from his Gospel. In piecing together John's missing story, we structurally rely on nested flashbacks to Gethsemane during John's anxious dash to visit Jesus's empty tomb on that third day. We learn with John as he ponders Gethsemane's deep meaning. The biblical angel there provides him with added context and special visions of Eden that clarify Jesus's atoning work. Because of Eden we must have Gethsemane. Without Gethsemane there could be no Golgotha.
