No one has come to pray at the Garden of Gethsemane because of fear of bombs being dropped on them. It is so sad to see the emptiness of this place when no one is around. But at this wonderful place Jesus continues to pray for Himself and for strength for things that will happen to Him in the coming days. Right now this place is full of olive orchard two thousand years old; they could have witnessed the pain Jesus went through when He was speaking to God Almighty.
Father, not my will but Thine be done.
Luke 22:42
In the depths of this garden Jesus saw something so horrifying He literally almost died under the strain. Luke tells us what Jesus saw caused Him such strain that He began to literally sweat great drops of blood. Luke 26:38
At this place.
Jesus began to tremble.
He had such a horrible pain.
Sorrow filled His heart.
An angel from heaven came to Him.
He began to strengthen Him.
He sweated great drops of blood.
He quietly said.
O My Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me, nevertheless not my will but Thine be done.
Mark 14:36
We see young olive fruit swelling with sustenance, a fresh garden pulsing with life. Yet death casts his shadow there. The earthly soil once wet with morning dew now soaked with tears of divine sorrow. Jesus went through so much for us. Let us all thank Him and praise Him for what He did at the Garden of Gethsemane.
Father, not my will but Thine be done.
