Thus is it with those who are born of woman. Time does for them what hardship and authority and suffering would fail to effect. But Jesus is man as well as God. It is at least a question whether his human nature, keyed to the experiences of man, may not carry with it, even to influence his royal heart, that sensitiveness to the touch of time which is characteristic of our race. But the question tarries only for a second.
Time is foiled in Jesus.
He has passed out of its sphere, and is impervious to its spell. Moods change us. But it is not so with Jesus. Never tired, or put out, or variable. Without shadow cast by turning.
