Look at Christ's humiliation and at Paul's. In all his tribulation he could always say, Christ went lower down than this; and he could always commit himself to God, as to a faithful Creator. There were other things in which Christ's sympathy was expressed in a different way. Christ never sinned-never had a fretful will, &c.; but He tasted all the bitterness of that in taking it upon the cross. I must realize the cross to understand His sympathy in this. It was when He passed through death for it; and now He can say, " I am he which Was dead, and am alive."
