“Bishop Ryle well says of Christ's experience in Gethsemane, 'it is a depth which we have no line to fathom'. For one fleeting moment immense joy must have leaped within Christ's soul as the Father's hand touched him. This was a message from home. Heaven was behind him. He was forsaken, but not disowned. His Father was there, somewhere in the darkness. His loud cries and tears had not been unnoticed.” — Frederick S. Leahy
