We are on the Mount of Olives now just outside the gate of the Garden of Gethsemane Where Jesus prayed where he sweated blood where he was betrayed Denied and finally at this place He was arrested We are entering at the gate now at the Garden of Gethsemane Ash and olive trees beautiful flowers it's a very beautiful place Where Christ often cften came to pray to meditate Olive trees are probably two thousand years old or more And now there's a possibility and a very strong possibility That beneath or around some of these very same olive trees That we see here Jesus himself sat or stood with his Disciples You know Jesus knew his divine purpose right from the very beginning And that last night of his life here in the Garden of Gethsemane He knew that His hour had come He was born human just like any of us and He didn't want to die He prayed and as a matter of fact He prayed to be spared the death That He knew that was very near Here within a very few feet of where I'm standing Jesus stood And when they came to arrest him he said I am He whom you seek And they took him away If Jesus had not had a divine purpose in dying He through his divine power could have been delivered as it's indicated That He delivered Shadrack Meshack and Abednigo from the fiery furnace Many many years before the time of Christ King Nebuchadnezzar looked into the fiery furnace And saw that the three men were walking around in the fire And he said of the spirit that was there protecting them The form of the fourth is like the Son of God
