DAILY?READINGS: 2 Kings 24; Lamentations 4-5; 2 Timothy 1
When Jesus had spoken these words, He went forth with His disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden. John 18:1
In the place where He was crucified there was a garden. John 19:41
Our first parents sinned in a garden, and all its beauty was lost to them and to their posterity; but the Redeemer came. In a garden Jesus wept in agony as He anticipated Calvary with all its sorrow, but He went on. At Golgotha He suffered at the hands of wicked men and at the hands of a sin-hating God, but then, His work finished, He rested—in a garden. One day we shall be with Him in a Paradise which will never be disturbed. —Jim Flanigan
With Him shall my rest be on high, when in holiness bright I sit down,
In the joy of His love ever nigh, in the peace that His presence shall crown.—J. N. Darby
