The Seven Places Jesus Shed His Blood
#1 - In the Garden Luke 22:44
Jesus shed great drops of blood like sweat in the garden of Gethsemane.
In Gethsemane, Jesus Won Back Our Willpower
It all started in a garden. In Gen. 3:6-17 Adam and Eve chose to eat of the fruit that God had said no to. The incredible thing that was lost for all mankind was the ability to come into agreement with the Fathers will and choose against the enemies will. At that moment Adam sacrificed the willpower of mankind. he made a conscious choice to partake a decision to go against God, and when he did so, that brought sin into the world and gave satan a place in this world. Jesus then sweat blood in the garden of Gethsemane and in doing so, He undid what Adam had done in the garden of Eden.
The first place Jesus shed his blood was in the Garden of Gethsemane, Matt. 26: 30-44. Our first lost was through Adam & Eves disobedience in a garden and now we see Jesus redeeming our will in a garden. He went into the garden fully aware that he was going to redeem our wills. Three times we see Jesus crying out to his Father saying, Not as I will but as thou wilt. In Luke 22:43-44 it says that Jesus was in so much agony that sweat as drops of blood were falling to the ground.
He did so right at that very moment because just as Adam made a conscious decision to partake of the fruit and bring sin in, Jesus was making a conscious decision to be the sacrifice to remove that sin. He set us free right at that very moment in that garden, when despite great fear He spoke saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. Unlike Adam who made a decision to go against the will of God, choosing his own will instead, Jesus; even in such tremendous fear and agony stated, Your will be done Father. Right then and there in that garden, Jesus undid what Adam had done so long ago in another garden. Those great drops of blood shed in that garden can cleanse us and bring us into the will of our Father. Pray those great drops of the blood of Jesus over your spouses will, purging them of self willfulness and self righteousness and bringing them into the will and the ways of the Lord for their lives and your marriage.
