Matthew 27: 45-50- Jesus' Last Words
Read Matthew 27: 45- 50- Jesus was enduring a torturous death. The pain was beyond intense . In verse 46 it is written, ‘And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani ?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”’ For me, this showed a human side of Jesus. Jesus knew God was still with Him but the powerful pain of all that was physically involved was so difficult to endure. I have to know Jesus paid a horrible price for us and it was a physical pain very few r ealized. Yes, there were others crucified but they had to contend with the physical pain not the spiritual pain Jesus endured for me. Jesus’ focus was on the plan to restore people to Him. His life was the price. Proverbs 1: 19- So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain. It takes away the life of its owners.
