In today’s episode , which first aired in the spring of 2025, we reflect on one of the most sacred and emotionally powerful moments in the life of Jesus (the Garden of Gethsemane) through the song “Not My Will.”
Throughout the Gospels, we see Jesus deeply moved. He weeps at Lazarus’ tomb, mourns over Jerusalem, burns with righteous anger in the temple, and extends compassion to the sick and outcast. These glimpses into His heart remind us that Jesus didn’t float above human pain. He entered into it fully.
But in Gethsemane, we find Jesus most vulnerable. His sorrow is deep. His sweat, like drops of blood. His prayer, raw and trembling:
“Abba, Father… take this cup from me. Yet not my will, but Yours be done.”
This is not the cry of despair. It’s the cry of surrender. Love’s highest moment isn’t found on the mountaintop but in the garden, beneath olive trees, in the still of the night, where Jesus says yes to the will of the Father, even when it leads to suffering.
Through poetic verses and haunting refrains, the featured song brings Gethsemane to life:
