East of Eden

While out in my rock garden trying to find a shady spot to work, I contemplated two gardens in the Bible. Afterall. the Bible is the story of these two gardens – each one played a most significant and vital role in the history of our world.

The Last Supper

“Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me.”  Astonishing words that grabbed everyone’s attention!  Perplexed and filled with sorrow, several of the disciples asked, “Lord, is it I?”  Then, Judas asked, “Rabbi, is it I?”  Jesus locked eyes with Judas  ~ one had a secret and only the Other knew what it was.   “You have said it,” Jesus said.
