The Human Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane

<p class=ql-align-justify><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1); background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>This past April 14 2016 Nita Raye and I celebrated our fiftieth wedding anniversary surrounded by our children grandchildren and great-grandchildren plus many good friends. The joy was overwhelming. The reflection on all those memories brought tears of rejoicing to our eyes and we thanked and praised God for His many blessings.</span></p><p class=ql-align-justify><br></p><p class=ql-align-justify><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1); background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>Jesus was and is God but for a time and a purpose he put on the cloak of humanity and wept like we do for the suffering of others and finally for his own impending trail and anguish. Jesus as God knew what was coming and had prepared himself for it from the foundation of the world. He was ready to rescue all humanity from Satan's lair. Jesus the human son of man had to overcome his humanity in his garden of Gethsemane before He could accomplish His godly task on Earth.</span></p><p class=ql-align-justify><br></p><p class=ql-align-justify><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1); background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>All of us have events in our lives that spiritually we have prepared for yet when the trial presents itself we try to avoid it. Jesus prayed three times at an hour each time to have this horrific event taken from Him instead of having to go through it. Yet in the end He accepts it for you and me and for the joy beyond.</span></p><p class=ql-align-justify><br></p><p class=ql-align-justify><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1); background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>Today we rejoice in God for his trustworthiness with family friends and our two little helpers Mr. Cooper and Miss Molly.</span></p><p class=ql-align-justify><br></p><p class=ql-align-justify><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1); background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>Blessings to all</span></p><p class=ql-align-justify><br></p><p class=ql-align-justify><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1); background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>Cooper and Molly had a question for God:</span></p><p class=ql-align-justify><br></p><p class=ql-align-justify><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1); background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>I asked my Creator why he had make me thus I must look to my master for food and shelter and such.</span></p><p class=ql-align-justify><br></p><p class=ql-align-justify><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1); background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>He smiled and said I did it so you could teach my man that all he receives in this life and beyond comes not from his work or wisdom but are gifts of love from His master's hand.</span></p><p><br></p>
