As Adam lost the heritage of union with God in a garden, our Blessed Lord ushered in its restoration in a garden. Eden and Gethsemane were the two gardens around with resolved the fate of humanity. In Eden, Adam sinned; in Gethsemane, Christ took humanity’s sin upon Himself. In Eden, Adam hid from God; Christ interceded with His Father; in Eden, God sought out Adam in his sin of rebellion; in Gethsemane, the New Adam sought out the Father and His submission and resignation. In Eden, a sword was drawn to prevent entrance into the garden and thus immortalize evil; in Gethsemane, the sword would be sheathed.
