Reposting daily through Easter – excerpts from The Cross He Bore by Frederick S. Leahy

And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.
Luke 22:43
For one fleeting moment immense joy must have leaped within Christ’s soul as the Father’s hand touched him.
This was a message from home.
Heaven was behind him. He was forsaken, but not disowned. His Father was there, somewhere in the darkness.
His loud cries and tears had not been unnoticed.

- More from Strengthened to Suffer

Lisa,
I haven't heard of this book. Perfect for us to think about right now.
That's one of the most blessed things about suffering, though we dread the suffering itself -- the reassurance that He is with us, "somewhere in the darkness."
"This was a message from home." -- that touched my heart. I never looked at it quite that way before.
