In Scripture, two gardens stand as bookends to humanity’s fall and redemption: Eden and Gethsemane.
Garden of Eden: The Fall of Man
Genesis 3:6 KJV – “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food… she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.”
Location of Pleasure: Eden was a paradise, filled with beauty, provision, and the presence of God.
Man’s Will Chose Disobedience: Adam surrendered to temptation and self-will, abandoning God’s instruction for desire.
Outcome: Sin entered. Humanity was driven out. Dominion was lost. Shame covered glory.
First Adam Failed: He hid. He blamed. He fell.
Garden of Gethsemane: The Rise of Man
Luke 22:42 KJV – “Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.”
Location of Pressure: Gethsemane was a place of crushing (its name means “oil press”) where olives are pressed to release oil.
Man’s Will Surrendered in Obedience: Jesus, the Second Adam, did not surrender to temptation but to the will of God.
Outcome: Redemption began. Obedience overcame rebellion. The road to Calvary was paved in surrender.
Second Adam Triumphed: He prayed. He submitted. He rose.

The fall began in a garden of beauty, but redemption was sealed in a garden of agony.
One man fell by eating.
Another man rose by praying.
Don’t just visit Eden and mourn the fall, enter Gethsemane and rise with purpose.
Share this truth. Teach it. Live it.
Tag someone who needs to stop hiding and start surrendering.
