G narly old tree, N estled in an olive grove, A ccommodated a solitary figure. R) espite for the birds of the air, yet L anguishing was the Son of Man and Son of God, Y earning to avoid such awful death.
O nly by the grace of God could L ove evoke the sacrifice of life for the D ear ones he loved then and now.
“T ake this cup from me" he prayed. Yet he was R esolved to follow through. E veryone must know he loves them E veryone must know he forgives.
I n that lonely garden place N o human heard his anguished prayer.
A bandoned? No!
G od was there, in human form and spirit. A nother opportunity offered: R edemption's free for all. D eath of one, life for all, E ternal life is given. N ow, you decide.
