A Tale Of Two Gardens
And where did Jesus go after the last supper? To the Garden of Gethsemane. And what did he do? He prayed and sweated (toiled) until drops of blood fell to the ground. More importantly, much like the fall of Adam we also see sweat, toil and the ground. And where did the fall of Adam take place? In a garden - The Garden of Eden.
The Zechariah Hope
This parallel continues today, as God calls each of us to recognize His working in our lives, offering healing, guidance, and renewal. Just as Zechariah pointed towards future restoration through the coming Messiah, we are invited to perceive God’s ongoing invitation to redemption and transformation, encouraging us to trust in His plan amid our struggles and uncertainties.
