Luke 22; John 18
“𝙽𝚘𝚝 𝙼𝚢 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕, 𝚋𝚞𝚝 𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚎, 𝙱𝚎 𝙳𝚘𝚗𝚎”

There were only three mortal witnesses to Jesus Christ’s suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane—and they slept through much of it.

In that garden and later on the cross, Jesus took upon Himself the sins, pains, and sufferings of every person who ever lived, although almost no one alive at that time knew what was happening.

Eternity’s most important events often pass without much worldly attention. But God the Father knew. He heard the pleading of His faithful Son: “Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him” (Luke 22:42–43).

While we were not there to witness this act of selflessness and submission, we are witnesses of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

Every time we repent and receive forgiveness of our sins, every time we feel the Savior’s strengthening power, we can testify of the reality of what happened in the Garden of Gethsemane.
