While Sweating Blood.....

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

“All His life, Christ had been publishing to a fallen world the good news of the Father’s mercy and pardoning love ... But now with the terrible weight of guilt He bears, He cannot see the Father’s

reconciling face. 

---Satan with his fierce temptations wrung the heart of Jesus. 

---The Savior could not see through the portals of the tomb. 

Hope did not present to Him His coming forth from the grave a conqueror, or tell Him of the Father’s acceptance of the sacrifice. 

---He feared that sin was so offensive to God that their separation was to be eternal...”
