In this message, Hilary takes us on a journey through three biblical gardens—the Garden of Eden where sin shattered humanity’s fellowship with God, the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus wrestled with the full weight of Isaiah 53’s prophecy, knowing he would bear all the sins of the world and face physical, emotional, mental and spiritual agony—and finally the Garden City of Revelation where the curse of Eden is broken forever and God’s people dwell in eternal light and fellowship with Him. Through Jesus’s example in Gethsemane, Hilary reveals how Jesus willingly surrendered to the Father’s will, fully aware of what awaited him, sustained by the hope of seeing many counted righteous because of his sacrifice and the joy of building his church—a people from every nation redeemed by his blood. As you listen, hear Hilary’s challenge: Fix your eyes on Jesus and never forget what he has done; don’t grow weary in following him, in saying no to sin, in forgiving others, in praying, in witnessing—consider him so you won’t lose heart; and above all, love the church, for it is the hope of the world and the answer to the curse that entered in Eden.
