Winter III
Christ and his apostles came to rest at a place which was named
Gethsemane. Christ's heart was full of sorrow, knowing what was to
come. He asked his apostles to keep watch with him as he knelt down
in prayer, but fatigue quickly overcame the mortals and they fell
asleep while Jesus prayed.
Jesus clasped his hands together and fell on the
ground.
"Abba, Father! All things are possible unto thee, if
thou art willing, take away this cup from me; nevertheless, not my
will, but thine be done!" He prayed earnestly, his agony so great
that sweat dripped from his skin as blood.
And then an angel appeared before him to console him.
The angel touched him on his shoulder and said, "Brother, have
strength. You must fulfill your task for the glory of God."
Jesus looked upon the angel that had come to his aid.
Lucifer smiled and said gently, "Be at peace, my
brother." And then he was gone.
Jesus rose up from the ground with renewed strength and
prepared to meet his destiny.
