Christ’s Anguish Greater Than Bodily Pain—But bodily pain was but a small part of the agony of God’s dear Son. The sins of the world were upon Him, also the sense of His Father’s wrath as He suffered the penalty of the law transgressed. It was these that crushed His divine soul. It was the hiding of His Father’s face—a sense that His own dear Father had forsaken Him—which brought despair. {2MCP 514.5}

Kristi pine er større end legemlig smerte — Men legemlig smerte udgjorde kun en ringe del af Guds (515) kære søns kvaler. Verdens synder hvilede på ham tillige med følelsen af Faderens vrede, da han led straffen for lovens overtrædelse. Det var dette, som knuste hans guddommelige sjæl. At Faderen skjulte sit åsyn - en følelse af, at hans egen kære fader havde forladt ham - var det, der påførte ham fortvivelse.
