Welcome to The Garden of Gethsemane
A song for you as you walk these ancient paths........Yesternite
I visited this garden in 2008 when I was on a trip to Jerusalem.
It is a garden like no other.
It has got to be the oldest garden I have ever been in; it is at least 2000 years old.
Gethsemane means 'the place of crushing or pressing".
In this grove of gnarly old olive trees, they used to press the oil from the olives.
As the olives were crushed the oil flowed.
Here, Christ wept and sweated great drops of blood before he was crucified.
The Bible tells us that Christ was perfected by the things he suffered.
May you have a place of pressing and crushing in your life.
May it become a place of beauty to you.
May the oil of the Holy Spirit flow.
May you be perfected by the things you suffer. May you even count
your trials and tribulations ALL joy!
Grace and Peace
