About this episode

The episode discusses Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane and his choice to obey God, emphasizing his love for God and humanity.

Matthew 26:36-56 We continue our Easter series. I respect each listener's ages and levels of understanding, so I have adapted some of these for the needs of our audience. Please go back and read the scriptures yourselves to include what is appropriate for your family. I will also encourage you to listen to all of the episodes in this Easter series in order, as the stories build upon themselves. It starts at Easter part 1. This story begins in the garden of Gethsemane and ends with Jesus being arrested. We remember that Jesus could have whispered 1 word and 100’s of angels would have appeared to rescue him BUT he didn’t do this. Why? Because He chose to. He chose to obey God b/c he loves God the father!!!! God’s plan had been there all along to rescue us b/c he loves us that much! The children will be reminded that Jesus is always in control and that He loves them very much! ------------------------------------- To enjoy the bonus content for this (coloring pages, and more) which also keeps this podcast free for 1,000's of families to access, go here.
