🎥 📖 Video Text:
Nowhere in the Bible did Jesus pray harder than the Garden of Gethsemane. As we look closer, we’ll discover proof of the enormous power of prayer.

There are thousands of prayer-filled places scattered through the Holy Land, but surprisingly, one of the most incredible is the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus went to pray after the last supper. The Bible simply says how Jesus went there with his disciples and asked them to pray while he went ahead, all alone to pray.

But when you are sitting in the actual garden – it truly comes alive – because until you are actually there, you’d never know that Gethsemane is only a ten-minute downhill walk from Jerusalem. And when you’re sitting in the garden, there is only one way to look and that is out and across a little valley. There you’ll see the towering walls of the city of Jerusalem and above those walls – Jesus would have seen the temple.

Now imagine being Jesus – all alone in the dark. Praying while seeing the giant city gates open. Praying while watching as the Roman soldiers march out of those gates with their lanterns and torches. Praying while watching them line up in attention. Praying while his disciples slept. Praying while the sins and weight of the whole world marched in military fashion, down the hill and directly toward him. Praying while knowing full well exactly what would happen next.

Yes, Jesus prayed. No wonder Jesus sweat blood.

All he had to do to escape, was simply walk a few steps back into the dark woods. But with raw courage and enough love to die for you and me, Jesus stayed put and continued to pray.

Yes, Jesus prayed…. He had fallen face down before God – and we can only imagine the agony and earnestness inside his words, “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.” Mat 26:39NLT

There is no doubt – absolutely none – that Jesus did not want to suffer. He had witnessed crucifixions and seen bloody corpses hanging from crosses as he walked through Israel. These crosses of death – deliberately placed next to public roads – were graphic and horrid symbols from Rome – saying don’t even think about crossing us.

At first glance we may think that Jesus’ prayer was not answered as the soldiers marched toward him, arrested, falsely accused, ridiculed, tortured and then killed him with the most violent death that Rome could inflict.

Certainly, none of the twelve disciples could grasp the enormity of what happened to their leader, their savior, their Jesus – the one they had placed their hope in. Instead, these disciples hid in a room, terrified for a Roman knock on their door as they wondered, “What good could possibly come of this.” And with utter dismay they must have muttered, “How could God have allowed this to happen?”.....
