An Angel Strengthened Him


There appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

Did the angel help Jesus pray in earnest? Was the angel there to wipe His brow? Or to collect His tears that were like drops of blood? Did he rest his hand on His shoulder and remind Him that all of His life was for the very day that was now at hand? Perhaps the angel encouragingly delivered the loving message, "The Father is well pleased with what You are about to do."
