Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His d=

“A Little Farther”
 

I’ve been impressed with verse 3=
5, where, after hesitating, Jesus went “a little farther” before he prayed =
the great Gesthemene prayer.   Jesus always seemed to go the extr=
a mile, and would encourage that for his disciples.  “Love your enemie=
s, bless those who curse you, pray for those who despitefully use you” are =
examples of the Master teaching his principles of going “a little farther”.=
  Is there a time today where you can go  “a little farther” in y=
our service to the Lord?  Can we back up from our self-agendas enough =
today to say, “Yet, not what I will, but what You will”?  Remember, wh=
en Jesus went to the cross he went farther than anyone alive or dead, to re=
concile humanity to God…

 

I come to the garden alone, while the dew is still on the roses.
=

And the voice I hear, falling on my ear, the Son of God discloses.&nbs=
p;
 
And He walks with me, and He talks with me, a=
nd He tells me I am His own; 
and the joy we share as we tar=
ry there, none other has ever known.  
AMEN

God bless,
