Day 5: After the washing of the feet and the Passover meal and Judas
left to betray Jesus, they left the upper room. Jesus went to the garden of
Gethsemane. I have a feeling when He was troubled that this was His favorite
place in Jerusalem. It was peaceful among the olive trees. It was peaceful the day
I took this picture in 1984. I was awed that these same olive trees were there when
Jesus visited this garden. Mark 14:33-36
Do you have a special, quiet, peaceful retreat, when you're troubled?
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 all 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,
His love is like a flood.
It 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!
