"In Gethsemane the cup of woe trembled in His hand. He might even then have wiped the blood-sweat men. But when the Saviour yielded up His life, and with His expiring breath cried out, “It is finished,” then the fulfillment of the plan of redemption was assured. The promise of salvation made to the sinful pair in Eden was ratified. The kingdom of grace, which had before existed by the promise of God, was then established. from His brow and have left the guilty race to perish in their iniquity. Had He done this, there could have been no redemption for fallen." -CIHS 108.2
