For the last 8 1/2 months I have made it a normal thing to take notes during the talks given on Sunday. I do this for a few reasons. One reason is so that I pay more attention to the speakers and the other is so that if the speakers leave some time I have some notes as to what they talked about and can recap them while adding my comments at the end of the meeting.
Yesterday I relearned something that I wanted to write about. We had talks on Jesus Christ and one of the speakers mentioned Christ's sacrifice for us. I had heard this before regarding the meaning of Gethsemane, where Christ suffered for our sins, but releanred it again yesterday. The meaning of Gehtsemane is olive press, which is what squeezes the olives until they produce oil. As I thought about the suffering that Christ went through in that garden, and the sins I have committed, I really felt his love for me and for all mankind in particular those who take advantage of his suffering by repenting, changing their lives and moving forward.

I had never heard the meaning of Gethsemane before. There is great symbolism in that isn't there?
