077 – Where will you celebrate Easter this year?

I invite you to spend it in "the garden" with Jesus.

It was in the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus completely surrendered to God's will with that famous prayer: Not my will but Thine be done.

And it was in another garden, near the place of his crucifixion, where he was buried. And of course it's in this second garden where he rose and talked to Mary Magdalene.

In this week's episode I talk about...

  • The significance of these events taking place in a garden setting
  • What the origin of the Hebrew word for garden reveals about our relationship with God
  • The contrast between how Adam and Eve dealt with sin in the Garden of Eden and how Jesus dealt with sin in Gethsemane and the Garden of the Tomb
  • How we can "meet" Jesus in the garden of resignation and the garden of resurrection this Easter

Have a wonderful Easter

Blessings,
James
