The Agony of Sorrow in Gethsemane - The Shadow of Calvary 1875

Perhaps the most impressive proof that can be given of the inconceivable terrors of Christ's sufferings considered as a whole, and as constituting the one undivided ransom for sin, results from the fact that the darkness of Gethsemane must be regarded as but the shadow of Calvary, this remark, at the same time, opening to us the nature and sources of what Christ endured when he said, "My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death." The sorrows of the garden arose from the prospect and foresight of the sorrows of the cross.
