P. 150
A mighty angel now comes to the side of
Christ. He lifts the head of the divine sufferer
upon his bosom, and points toward Heaven.
He tells Him that He has come off victor over
Satan. As the result, millions will be victors in
His glorious kingdom.
A heavenly peace rests upon the Saviour's
blood-stained face. He has borne that which
no human being can ever bear; for He has
tasted the sufferings of death for every man.
Again Christ sought His disciples, and again
He found them sleeping. Had they remained
awake, watching and praying with their
Saviour, they would have received help for
the trial before them. Missing this, they had
no strength in their hour of need.
Looking sorrowfully on them, Christ said,
“Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the
hour is at hand, and the Son of man is
betrayed into the hands of sinners.”
