Our text depicts a weighty time. Jesus knew what he would face in the next few days. He tells the disciples what is about to happen, which must have sounded unbelievable to them. Jesus returns to a place where he had prayed many times in this heaviest time. He takes three of his closest disciples a little further into the garden to pray. It is essential to have close friends during times of trial, but this time, Jesus had to go even further by himself because he needed to distance himself from the distractions. Jesus asked them to pray with him, but these men who pledged to defend him to the death not long ago could not even stay awake for an hour of prayer.

The garden is usually thought of as a place of life and growth, but Jesus went to the garden to die. The garden is not a place where we try to change God’s mind; A garden is a place where we go to change. The garden is about us.

Matthew, Mark, and Luke all record the story that is the subject of our text. Each has a slightly different point of view because each man was writing to a somewhat different audience. Matthew says the man worshiped. Mark tells us that Jesus was moved to compassion. Luke adds that the man was full of leprosy, which means he was covered from head to toe with a disease that made him an outcast to all. The only thing worse than touching someone with leprosy was touching a dead body. People with this disease were regarded as the lowest in society, and the belief was that their condition was due to some sin in their lives. They were isolated, outcasts, despised, and rejected. Even in his wretched condition, this man came and worshiped Jesus. Even in our weakest condition, our worship is worth something to Jesus. Jesus was so moved that he broke all societal norms, reached out, touched this man, and healed him. The Lord who spoke the world into existence reached out and touched this man to heal him. He could have just spoken it, but the man needed more than a word. It would have been easy for Jesus to touch him after he was healed, but Jesus touched him when he wasn’t worthy. He touches us when we are unworthy and tells us to come home. He will be better to us than our expectations.

When Kings speak, things happen. How much more when the King of Kings speaks? Our king spoke, and the world came into existence. We experience the power because the word of God is still among us. John tells us that first, there was the word, and the word was God. Paul said to preach the word because where the word of a king is, there is power.

Out of all the languages, locations, men, and diversity comes one lord, one plan of salvation, and one way. The power of the word of God transcends all. It transcends time, it transcends circumstances, transcends human understanding. Brother Willams takes us on a journey through scripture to reveal the power in the King's word.

Our text is our introduction to Sampson. The power of God comes on Sampson, who picks up a donkey's jawbone and proceeds to kill 1000 men. After this miraculous victory, the bible says Sampson needed water to quench his thirst. Even after a great deliverance, we must remain thirsty for more of what God has.
