GETHSEMANE: THE GARDEN BEFORE THE CROSS
•••Bible Study Verses: Matthew 26:36-41, Isaiah 53:1-3.
“Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith. I don't agree at all. They are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the Passion of Christ. For the beginning of the Passion the first move, so to speak — is in Gethsemane. In Gethsemane a very strange and significant thing seems to have happened... But for this last (and erroneous) hope against hope, and the consequent tumult of the soul, the sweat of blood, perhaps He would not have been very Man. To live in a fully predictable world is not to be a man...” CS Lewis, The Business of Heaven, Inspiration Press, 1987 †
"But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen" 1 Pet 5.10, NKJV
