"We can go so far with God in the fellowship and comfort of close companions, but a time comes when each true follower is summoned farther still." Beth Moore, David Seeking a Heart Like His. In our study last week, Bible teacher Beth Moore took us to the scene in the garden of Gethsemane just before Jesus went to the cross. Matthew 26:38-39 records it for us: 38 Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.” 39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” These were the final hours for Jesus. He was going to face the cross and his death very soon.

He went " a little farther" As Beth Moore pointed out the journey to a greater intimacy with God
