I could have called this page something else, but I could not think of anything that would suit it better. I thought about calling it my testimony, but it is not really that. What the scripture said to me sealed my salvation. It will be a surprise to me if I am able to finish this page, hence the name.
36) Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place
called Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here
while I go over there and pray."
37) He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee
along with him, and he began to be sorrowful
and troubled.
38) Then he said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed
with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and
keep watch with me."
39) Going a little farther, he fell with his face
to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is
possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not
as I will, but as you will."
40) Then he returned to his disciples and found
them sleeping. "Could you men not keep watch
with me for one hour?" he asked Peter.
41) "Watch and pray so that you will not fall
into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the
body is weak."
42) He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father,
if it is not possible for this cup to be taken
away unless I drink it, may your will be done."
43) When he came back, he again found them sleeping,
because their eyes were heavy.
44) So he left them and went away once more and
prayed the third time, saying the same thing.
Matthew 26:36-42 NASB
Gethsemane
All those who journey, soon or late,
Must pass within the garden's gate;
Must kneel alone in darkness there,
And battle with some fierce despair.
God pity those who cannot say:
"Not mine but thine;" who only pray:
"Let this cup pass," and cannot see
The purpose in Gethsemane.
