Unending Horizons Of Truth.

The Wonders/Marvels Of The Cross Of Christ.  On the cross, the One who on the mount was once transfigured above the brightness of the sun, lay with that glory eclipsed in utter darkness, his visage so marred more than any man and his form utterly beyond that of the sons of men; yet the pressure of that whole agony upon His soul could get nothing contrary from Him in response, but perfect submission & alignment to the divine will.
