37 O nl y WORDS OF JESUS: "Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from me; yet, not my will but Yours be done." (Luke 22:42 NRSV) (music begins) ew FOLLOWER - III (Peter): What emotions we all felt as we left that supper and followed Jesus to the Garden of Gethsemane! Fo rP re vi As we entered the shade of those olive trees, it was with a horrible sense of foreboding. We loved our Master so dearly. Yet, that night, it seemed that any efforts we made to show our love for Him, or to protect Him from danger, had the opposite effect. All Jesus asked us to do was to wait—to watch with Him while He prayed. Yet, every time He prayed, we fell asleep. We felt such shame! And I—I, who so wanted to follow our Lord's teaching—I, who had vowed to never betray Him—I acted the most shamefully of all by the time that night was over. That beautiful garden—the place that had provided peace and comfort for us in the past—had now become a place of evil, a place of sorrow… and a place of love. 42470
