The power that kept [Christ] on the cross was a far mightier one than would have been necessary to leave it. It was not by the nails through His hands and feet that He was held, nor by the ropes with which His arms were bound, nor by the soldiers watching Him; no, but by invisible hands — by the cords of redeeming love and by the constraint of a divine design.
