NARRATION:

The Garden had always been a special place for Jesus. As He walked among the
olive trees of Gethsemane, did He think of Eden and the tree that had brought
death to His beloved creation? "Where are you?" He had called to His children in
the cool of the day.

Now He was calling them again. By His message of grace, He was drawing His
creation back to the garden. This time, the tree in the center of it all would not
bring death but life everlasting. The emotion of it overwhelmed Him and He fell
to the ground in anguish. Over and over He cried, "Father, let this cup pass from
Me."

Then at once a deep peace flooded His spirit and He spoke, "Father, let Thy will
be done." His words resounded through the lonely garden, and for a moment it
seemed the evening breeze stood breathless and still.
