Jesus Embraces Utter ‘Defeat’ to Achieve Eternal Victory – Mark 8:27–38

In this brief excerpt from the course, Jesus and Myth, Dr. Barber discusses how Jesus embraces the 'defeat' of the Cross of Calvary, in literal fulfillment of His prophecies of centuries before (even planned before His creation of the universe).

Jesus embraces this 'defeat' at the very moment – were He a mythological hero (which He's not) – He would be engaging in battle to defeat His enemies. Once again, Jesus proves that He, and He alone, is not mythological.
