(MacDuff, “Encouragements to Patient Waiting“)
Take a pilgrimage in thought, to Gethsemane
and Calvary! Gaze upon His sufferings! He knew
all the sorrows that await Him–the shame, the
suffering, the anguish–but He takes the bitter
cup, and, with His heart set on the salvation
of His people–with His heart set on you–the
blessed Savior drains it to the very dregs!
See Him on Calvary . . .
unpitied by the crowd;
deserted by His disciples;
forsaken by His Father;
the Lamb led to the slaughter;
and all for you!
