On the last day of the earthly ministry of Christ on earth on the day of His crucifixion, our Lord gave two great discourses on spiritual life. In the morning on the Mount of Olives overlooking the Eastern Gate of the Temple in Jerusalem, our Lord delivered the Olivet Discourse about His Second Coming. That evening in the Garden of Gethsemane, just at the foot of the Mount of Olives, our Saviour shared the ministry and work of the coming Holy Spirit and prayer as recorded in John 14-17. At the end of that discourse in the dark night, the soldiers led by Judas, put the Saviour in chains to be delivered to His determined destiny at Calvary.
