Summary: It then reminds us that at one time or the other believers and non belivers alike are going to experience their Gethsemane. It then encourages us to go through it the same way Christ went through it.
And for his reverend obedient to the will of the Father (to the point of death), He was exalted and given a name that is above every other name.
Phil 2: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Paul came back with new grace:
2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Conclusion:
As we celebrate Easter, let us remember that part of the activities of the season is the Gethsemane experience and that there is always a Gethsemane to face by every man and woman. Let us remember to face ours the way He faced His so that we too we would overcome just as He did. The victory of the season abides with us all.
