The Events Of Holy Week:Thursday (Part 3)

Another event of Thursday of Holy Week was Jesus’ praying in the Garden of Gethsemanee.
Jesus prayed that He would not have to die on the cross — and yet at the end He accepted God’s will. (Matthew 26:31-46, Mark 14:32-42, Luke 22:39-46).
If you have ever seen the movie “The Passion Of The Christ“, you will remember the first scenes at Gethsemane and the Devil trying to persuade Him to abandon God’s plan — but Jesus resisiting. A very powerful rendition of this powerful event.
Jesus accepted and followed God’s will for Him — even though it meant suffering and death.
O God — Strengthen me when I am tempted to abandon Your will for my life, so that I may follow You. Amen.
