THE Bridge of Sighs is the bridge which connects the Palace of the Doge with the State prisons ot Venice. Over this bridge the State prisoners were conveyed from the judgment-hall to the place of execution.
May we not say that the earthly life of the Lord Jesus was a Bridge of Sighs, over which He passed, from the palace of the Father, to the death of the cross? Verily it was. Three times in the New Testament we read of the Lord Jesus sighing or groaning.
The groans of Christ in His life were but the forerunners of His deeply-moving cry, when He cried out in heart anguish on the cross, “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” Verily the sighs of Christ were many on our account. We hear Him saying, “My sighs are many, and My heart is faint” (Lam. 1:22).
