Go In With Him

We get to go into the garden with Him.

"And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. And when he came to the place, he said to them, 'Pray that you may not enter into temptation.' And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed, saying, 'Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.' And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. And being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground. and when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow," - Luke 22:39-45 ESV

His disciple were sleeping but if you read that passage you just went in with Him. Read it again. You know what He said. The book records it so you could 'hear' it. The Bible has given you 'insider information'.

Look at Him in the garden. Are you looking?

"But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord." - 2 Corinthians 3:18 NKJV

"Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God." - Colossians 3:2-3 ESV

'Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.'

Religious people quote it and theologians argue about it but I just want to be there hearing it and seeing Him say it... and we are... the Bible can take us there if we just mix faith with what is being said.

The Bible can show us a side of many things we could never see ourselves. God gave us this book, in part, so that could happen.
