Footsteps in the Garden

There many footprints leading to the garden this evening. But only one set continued to walk further into the garden. And when the footprints stopped, knee prints and an outline of a head would appear.

Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will ." Matthew 26:29

These prints would be covered in his sweat.

And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. Luke 22:44

Jesus knew what was about to happen. He did not wonder, he knew. And Jesus also knew the will of His Father. As He arose after praying, Christ footsteps would lead Him to the crowd that came to arrest Him. God's will was about to be done.

Jesus' steps would now lead to the cross. But tonight He would be mocked and beaten. If you look, you might see the first drops of blood in the footsteps.

I pray you take the time tonight to fall on your face before God. The God who sent His Son to be beaten, flogged, mocked and crucified for you. Not because you deserved to be saved, but because God loves you!

May tears of repentance and joy fall down your face as you come before the Lord.
