BIBLE VERSES

BLOODY SWEAT OF JESUS 

A symbol of the effort of the Divine life to effect union of the higher nature and the lower.

"The spiritual life follows certain well-defined laws of development, and these laws do not admit of the experience of joy at every stage of the upward road; on the contrary, they necessitate at various points an acquaintance with darkness and the shadow of death, with pain and loss and loneliness of heart, with the agony and bloody sweat and the crucifixion of the soul." - R. J. CAMPBELL, Serm., The Glorified Life.
