    based on 3 ratings

    For Jesus, Gethsemane was a place of worship, a place to surrender his will to the Father; for Judas, it was a place to completely betray Jesus. No location can substitute for the heart.

    Christ prepares His disciples for his death and resurection in concert with the story of Lazurus.

    The sermon today is from John 11, the first 45 verses. If you really want, I will read it, but I think it best if I paraphrase it a little.
