This is day 5 on our journey to the cross.
After washing the disciple's feet and the passover meal was finished and Judas
departed to betray Jesus, they left the upper-room and wert to the Garden of Gethsemane
I have a feeling when He was troubled that this was a favorite place in Jerusalem for Jesus.
It was quiet and peaceful among the olive trees. I took this picture in 1984. It was still quiet
and peaceful among the olive trees. Do you have a quiet peaceful place you like to go to
when you're troubled?
GETHSEMANE
We all have our Gethsemane
With indecision, pain and loss.
We feel the weight of the world
And the burden of our cross.
But Jesus was comforted
By angels that day...
We will have the comfort
Of the One whose been that way.
Because Jesus suffered
Great drops of sweat as blood
He has such mercy for us
And His love is like a flood.
His love flows right to us,
Even when our life has sin.
He wants us to be restored
And feel His love again.
The agony He suffered
In Gethsemane that day
Was for the restoration
Of a world that's lost its way!
