The Savior Suffers in Gethsemane
The Savior is a wonderful example of service and sacrifice.
I think about all the people he healed. I marvel that he sacrificed
to save me.
Not all that he healed expressed gratitude. Others he would
instruct to "tell no man," but they did the opposite. So, how
is it with us? Do we expect more from others when we give various acts of
service, or do we follow the Savior's pattern of continuous service regardless
of how our service is received?
Jesus said, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air
have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head."
While in the Garden of Gethsemane, our Savior asked " O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from
me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.” He partook of the bitter cup to save us. He offered himself a sacrifice for sin.
May we strive to lose ourselves in the
service of others and offer our lives a sacrifice for Jesus. We are only serving the Lord when we serve others. I testify that I feel closer to the Savior when I sacrifice and serve.
