“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.” GethsemaneLuke 22 43 Book:The Cross He Bore: Meditations on the Sufferings of the Redeemer Source: The Cross He Bore: Meditations on the Sufferings of the Redeemer
