Jesus Prays in the Garden of Gethsemane

(new drawing)

Jesus suffered for our sins.  This suffering started in the Garden of Gethsemane.  It was actually an olive orchard.  Jesus walked in and fell on His face.  That is what the New Testament says.  He, Jesus, asked His Father in Heaven... who was also his actual physical father, to remove the cup from him if possible but that His Father's will be done.  Jesus was sore amazed and how terrible He felt. 

Maybe He felt so terrible because he felt the weight of all our sins on him.  He had never sinned so he never had felt guilt.  Suddenly He had the guilt of all mankind upon him.  Jesus paid the eternal price for our sins so that IF we repent we can return to live with our Heavenly Parents one day.  

Later Jesus was resurrected and that led to it becoming possible for everyone to be resurrected.  The amount of glory we receive and I suppose the level of glory or our resurrected body depends upon how we did on Earth.  Did we repent and try to do better.  Did we serve God by serving our fellowmen (and women).  Were we kind to others?  All those things matter.  

I am so grateful for our Savior and the willingness of our Father in Heaven so sacrifice His son for us.  Think about it, Jesus was a god already.  He was God the Son.  He had the power, even on the cross, to come down from the cross and to smite His enemies with the word of His power.  But He did not do that.  He knew that suffering and dying for us was part of God's plan and He was willing to do His Father's will... no matter how hard.  And we can not even imagine how hard that was.  Jesus was not an unwilling victim of Roman cruelty.  He was a willing sacrifice for our sins.  The world does not understand that.  But Christians do understand.  Remember that Jesus was so powerful that under the direction of God the Father, He, Jesus, created this planet we call Earth. And it appears that he created millions of other earths or Eart-like planets s well.
