It is because His whole heart, and all the moving passions of His heart, are in His intercessory office.

It is because He still remembers in the skies His tears, His agonies, and cries.

It is because He is entered into the holiest with His own tears as well as with His own blood.

And it is because He will remain and abide before the Father the Man of Sorrows till our last petition is answered, and till God has wiped the last tear from our eyes.

When He was in the coasts of Caesarea-Philippi, our Lord felt a great curiosity to find out who the people thereabouts took Him to be.
