Exodus 33:1-34:3; Psalms 83:1-84:12; Acts 20:1-16
When Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples over the Brook Kidron, where there was a garden. John 18:1 NKJV
Campbell Morgan said about the Lord Jesus; “Two things are supremely evident: first His majesty and then His meekness.” As we contemplate this garden scene we see both His majesty and His meekness. He entered Gethsemane and in majesty He spoke with God and said “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me.“ In meekness He added, “nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done” (Luke 22:42). The agony was intense; the conflict was real! The hymn writer wrote, “That bitter cup, love drank it up!” Ours is the blessed joy of remembering Him this morning!—Jim Comte
Gethsemane can I forget? Or there Thy conflict see,
Thine agony and bloodlike sweat, and not remember Thee?—J. Montgomery
