Mark 14:32
"And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and He saith to His disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray."
Last week we studied the miracle at the pool of Bethesda. A place where there was a multitude of sick and suffering people. Jesus healed one man there. He didn't heal every one. He could have but He didn't. It wasn't part of God’s plan.
Jesus asked the sick man "Do you want to be healed?" This man had come to the pool every day, hoping and praying he might get into the water first, and be healed. Every day he is there trying to be made well. Against all odds. Knowing very well that it would take a miracle. And Jesus showed up!
God is doing it all. We have no way of knowing was this sick man the most persistent? Or, did he pray harder than all the others? Or, was there another reason? We cannot know. We do know he was part of God’s plan. Like the Disciples are part of God’s plan. Today we turn to the Gospel of Mark to study another part of God’s plan. The night in which Jesus was betrayed. "And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and He saith to His disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray." Jesus's plan for His Disciples, sit there while Jesus prays. God is doing it all.
