Ezra 3:1-4:24; Daniel 5:1-31; Revelation 1:1-20
And he…began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death. Matthew 26:37-38
Matthew tells us our blessed Saviour fell on His face in Gethsemane. Luke says He was in agony and His sweat became like great drops of blood. Although others prostrated themselves before the Lord, the weight of His burden was unlike any other. No scales could weigh the heaviness of His holy heart that night. The compression of His soul
as He anticipated infinite suffering could only be appreciated by His Father as they communed together in the Garden. —Peter Ramsay
Gethsemane can I forget? Or there Thy conflict see,
Thine agony and blood-like sweat, and not remember Thee? —James Montgomery
