Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

Luke 22

As the Savior suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane, Luke records that -

"...being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground."  (Luke 22:44)

King Benjamin also prophesied -

"...he shall suffer temptations, and pain of body, hunger, thirst, and fatigue, even more than man can suffer, except it be unto death; for behold, blood cometh from every pore, so great shall be his anguish for the wickedness and the abominations of his people."  (Mosiah 3:7)

Much of Christendom miss the truth that the majority of the Savior's suffering and atonement took place in Gethsemane, not on the cross.
