Jesus the restorer of paradise from John 18:1

In John 18:1 Jesus went into a garden, a place where crushing took place, where great drops of blood according to Luke 22:44 were extracted from Him. At once we are reminded that in the beginning there was Adam in a garden and Satan came into that garden to rip mankind off. And this time we see the second Adam come into a garden to restore that which was lost.

Consider further the two Adams:

•In a garden the first Adam rebelled against God, in a garden the second Adam submitted to God.

•In a garden the first Adam hid from God, in a garden the second Adam went forward for God.

•In a garden the first Adam man was driven out because of Sin, in a garden the second Adam came to be prepared to be a sin offering.

That which was lost in a garden called Eden was reclaimed in a garden called Gethsemane.
