This Garden is not just a small paragraph in the story of Christ.
This Garden is not one small step in the life of our Lord.
No this Garden is where the thrice holy God received the cup that he must drink.
He was separated, not just from his earthly friends but from the God of eternity!
Do you understand? That is something he had never known.
Dear brothers and sisters who caused his shame?
It was your sin! It was my sin!
And with our sin on that blessed dove, on that little lamb
His father turned away!
Because of sin!
You better put your hand on this sacrifice provided by God for there is no other name written under heaven by which we must be saved.
And this the most gentle and precious thing to ever exist carried it to the cross and said for all of eternity
IT-IS-FINISHED!
