willing, but the flesh is weak” (v.41). He knows us and He will help us with our desire to be there with Him.
What we gain from Gethsemane as we Watch with Him What exactly is the root or meaning of Gethsemane:
"Oil press – that very place where the oil is stored", 1068, "vat for holding wine" (1660) "liquid from the olive that is often perfumed", "richness from the anointing", "fruitful" 8081 (Strong’s Concordance)1. This is the oil hidden in Gethsemane that the Lord longs to give to us – to pour into us from His sweet anointing. The precious scent of this oil, that bears fruit, is there for the taking. When will we reach in and enjoy this? There is no question that many of us diligently seek the scriptures daily and others faithfully attend church services to hear the words of the preacher. 1
The Concordance is like a dictionary that explains the roots and meanings of words found in the Bible. Strong’s is just one version of a concordance.
