Title: The Lord Goes to Gethsemane
Contents:
Luke records that Jesus did not visit the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives once or twice, but went up to the Mount of Olives as a habit.
The Garden of Gethsemane is a place the Lord often visits day and night.
The saints need to know well what the spiritual Garden of Gethsemane is that the Lord is looking for. It needs a secret place of prayer where the Lord has often sought and prayed in his busy and free time. When life is difficult and difficult, the place I often visit makes me.
3 Habits of Jesus
The Lord who habitually visited the temple, the Lord who habitually visited the Mount of Olives, and the Lord who habitually teaches through all nature.
Mount of Olives What is the Garden of Gethsemane?
It is the place where Jesus kneels before God. A person who does not have time to kneel is not a person of God even if he talks about God.
It is a place to meet God. It is a place where tears are shed. It is a place where you commit to your mission. That is the place that kills me.
It is a garden where boundless grace flows. The Church of God is the Garden of Grace. God's house is a place of grace.
That is where final victory is promised. A person who has not experienced the Garden of Gethsemane is a Christian with a pattern, but a different scent. Jesus' death on Calvary's cross is a success, not a failure.
What was the purpose of your search for Gethsemane?
It is to pray. Peter and his disciples went to the Garden of Gethsemane with Jesus, but they did not pray. Eli, who lived in the temple of the Lord, did not pray, and his spirituality became dark. Dear saints, what was the purpose of your search for the Lord's temple?
It is to do the Father's will. The life of the saints becomes the most valuable life when it is used to accomplish the Lord's will. The way to know the will of the Lord is the way to Gethsemane.
To take up the cross and die. Jesus went to the Garden of Gethsemane to die on the cross. Our communion time today should be the road to Gethsemane. Holy Communion without commitment is meaningless. Without the prayer of Gethsemane that confesses sins and follows the cross, the Lord's Supper is nothing but a ceremony. Even the Lord, who shed blood for me, prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane in the Garden of Gethsemane before he was arrested and went to Calvary.
