Yes, indeed.
In my early Christian life I was led to believe that it was the physical suffering that the Lord dreaded when he was in the Garden of Gethsemane. While his physical suffering was something beyond our imagination, it was his becoming sin in that moment and being totally estranged from the Father, for even a moment in time, that was his greatest dread.
We can’t even comprehend what fellowship exists between the Father and Son. We only get a little taste in the Church. But to have that deep, deep, vast immeasurable fellowship to be cracked even for a second of time was too much to consider. But thank God for, “Let your will be done, and not mine.”
