And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. Luke 22:44. Christ had not been forced to do this [bear the guilt of a perishing world]. He had volunteered to lay down His life to save the world. In the supreme crisis, when heart and soul are breaking under the [world’s] load of sin, Gabriel is sent to strengthen Him. And while the angel supports His fainting form, Christ takes the bitter cup and consents to drink its contents. Before the suffering One comes up the wail of a lost and perishing world, and the words come from the bloodstained lips, “Nevertheless, if the fallen race must perish unless I drink this cup, Thy will, not Mine, be done.”... A bless n thankful thankful day to u all.
