In the garden after taking his last Passover, Jesus said to his disciples, "My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even to death." In this sermon Mr. Smith explains what Jesus meant by this statement. As God the Word, Jesus helped God the Father plan out all the events that would have to take place the rest of that day in order for his death to pay for the sins of all mankind.
