SA 65:1{Look at the central theme of the universe—the central moment not of a world's history only, but of eternity—look at the Savior, "who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree," bowing His bleeding head under that awful burden, because His faithfulness was unto the death, and His love was strong as death! Then seek out all the exquisitely winning ways of Him who went about doing good, till you have heard Him and observed Him all through those years of patient and perfect ministry, and recollect all the time that it is He who says to you, "Come unto Me!" Unto Him, the man Christ Jesus, full of compassion, and tender yet royal grace.
Behold your King, with His sorrow crowned,
Alone, alone in the valley is He!
The shadows of death are gathering round.
And the Cross must follow Gethsemane.
Darker and darker the gloom must fall,
Filled Is the Cup. He must drink it all!
Oh, think of His sorrow! that we may know
His wondrous love In His wondrous woe.
