This is Holy Week in the life of the Christian Church. I
will be sharing lessons from the Garden.
Today’s lesson: You are not alone.
Do you feel alone when you are going
through your struggles? Jesus struggled in prayer in the Garden so profusely
that the sweat of his brow looked like drops of blood. He was wondering if he
would make it through. The Gospel of St. Luke reports: “An
angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him” (Luke 24:43). Our current
western culture is so naturalistically inclined and self-centered that any idea
of supernatural beings such as angels is dismissed as superstition and folly.
People who make themselves the center of the universe will never struggle with
doing the will of Another. If we do not experience the visitation of heavenly
beings, could it be that our seeking is solely for ourselves? – Ron Friesen
