REDEEMED FROM STRESS AND
STRESS-RELATED CONDITIONS
Before Jesus went through the scourging for our
diseases, the Bible tells us He was under such duress
in the Garden of Gethsemane that “His sweat
became like great drops of blood falling down to the
ground” (Luke 22:44). Medical science will tell you
there is a rare condition called hematidrosis, where a
person under extreme stress actually sweats blood. 2
I believe this is what happened to Jesus. He sweat
great drops of blood from the brow of His head.
This is significant because of what happened in
another garden, the garden of Eden. The Bible tells
us that in that garden, Adam, the first man, sinned,
and God said this to him:
“Cursed is the ground because of you;
through painful toil you will eat food from it
all the days of your life. It will produce
thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat
the plants of the field. By the sweat of your
brow you will eat your food.” (Gen. 3:17–19
NIV)
