Isn’t that what Jesus did for us when He was betrayed, when He wept in the Garden of Gethsemane before His death? He thought of you and me, with each agonizing step He took dragging the cross, with each labored breath He took as He hung on the cross. He didn’t want us to carr...
What happened that day? The Bible says his disciple and friend Judas betrayed Jesus’ whereabouts in the Garden Gethsemane. He was arrested and taken to the house of Caiaphas, the high priest, which was an informal late-night meeting of the Sanhedrin, the Jewish ruling council. They had plo...
Despair overcame them as it did with the fearful disciples who saw their messiah (Jesus) arrested and crucified in the garden of Gethsemane. A stoic defies tragedy by never giving in or giving up. He defies and spites tragedy by living well to the end when tragedy is inevitable. But even...
Jesus repeats the same prayer three times in a row, when praying to His Father in the Garden of Gethsemane. That can be read in Matthew 26:39, Matthew 26:42, and Matthew 26:44. In Matthew 20:29-33, Jesus responds to the repeated prayer of the blind men to have mercy on them. ...

But nothing happened with our own house, not a hint of interest. I couldn’t blame the potential buyers who made an appointment for a showing but then decided that they didn’t even want to walk in. John and I didn’t know much about curb appeal, especially since I wasn’t emotionally...
This falls a bit short of the principles of Christ as demonstrated at the garden of Gethsemane when Peter took his sword and cut off the ear of the soldier. There are no religions on the face of this earth today, who represent the teachings of the scriptures in any way. Not those of ...
We know Jesus was about 30 years old when he began his ministry (Luke 3:23), but the Bible tells us virtually nothing about what he looked like―except that he didn’t stand out in any particular way. When Jesus was arrested in the garden of Gethsemane before the Crucifixion (Matthew ...
• The Holy Spirit’s anointing at Pentecost according toActs 2:15happened at the third hour of the day. • Jesus rose from dead on the third day. • God is one, but he is also three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Trinity). ...
