Holy Week: Going to Gethsemane

About this episode

Rach and Suz explore the significance of the Garden of Gethsemane during Holy Week, focusing on its symbolism and relation to Jesus' sacrifice.

Blessings to you, friends, it’s Holy Week! In today’s episode, as we prepare to honor Jesus’ passion this Good Friday and celebrate His resurrection this Easter Sunday, Rach and Suz dive into the importance of the Garden of Gethsemane–the symbolism of its name and how it relates to Jesus’ sacrifice for us on the cross. What does an oil press, olive oil, and anointings have to do with the Passion? Why is Gethsemane called a garden, and what is the significance of Jesus spending the hours before His arrest in this Garden? We hope you learn more about the Lord and His love for us as we honor Him this Holy Week!
