Day five: After washing the disciples feet and the passover meal
was finished and the departure of Judas to betray Jesus, they left
the upper-room. Jesus went to the Garden of Gethsemane. I have
a feeling that when Jesus was troubled, this was a favorite place in
Jerusalem for Him. It was quiet and peaceful among the olive trees.
I took this picture in 1984. It was still peaceful among the olive trees.
Do you have a special, quiet peaceful retreat, when you're troubled?
Mark 14: 33-36
GETHSEMANE
We all have our Gethsemane
With indecision, pain and loss.
We feel the weight of the world,
The burden of our cross.
But Jesus was comforted
By Angels that day...
We will have the comfort
Of One whose been that way.
Because Jesus suffered,
Great drops of sweat as blood,
He has such mercy for us,
His love is like a flood.
If 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!
