Through the eyes of Jesus (Alone on the cross)

[excepttruth]

Now as we have reflected on the birth of our KING. LET US REMEBER THE REASON for His coming. Jesus was truly alone. Nevertheless His hope was in His Father. Jesus has already been judged, Spit upon, beaten to the point of not being able to recognize Him. We read "Just as there were many who were appalled at Him, His appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man, and his form marred beyond human likeness" (Isaiah 52:14a) Now Jesus is hanging on the cross, looking down at the crowd below Him. Then Jesus cries out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" For the first time Jesus was alone. Separated from the Father and the Holy Spirit for the first time EVER. Jesus taking on the wrath of His Father, that we should have taken for our sins. Think about this. Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit always together, all knowing together, all thought the same. Seeing each other the same way "God" Now let us go into the mind of Jesus as he was hanging on the cross. Through a song king David had written long ago. David having never experiencing the words he had written. Yet in this song, God let us see the mind of Jesus as his life in the flesh was slipping away, and yet Jesus in His heart, placed his hope in the one whom He had always been with and knew. would restore Him to his former Glory. Note that which is in green, take heart to what Jesus was experiencing, as he was hanging on the cross for you and me. Suffering the wrath of God for us. What a loving and GOOD Shepherd He is. For the director of music. To the tune of "The Doe of the Morning." A psalm of David. 1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from the words of my groaning? 2 O my God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, and am not silent. 3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the praise of Israel. [a] 4 In you our fathers put their trust; they trusted and you delivered them. 5 They cried to you and were saved; in you they trusted and were not disappointed. 6 But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by the people. 7 All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads: 8 "He trusts in the LORD; let the LORD rescue him. Let him deliver him, since he delights in him." 9 Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you even at my mother's breast. 10 From birth I was cast upon you; from my mother's womb you have been my God. 11 Do not be far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help. 12 Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me. 13 Roaring lions tearing their prey open their mouths wide against me. 14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted away within me. 15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death. 16 Dogs have surrounded me; a band of evil men has encircled me, they have pierced my hands and my feet. 17 I can count all my bones; people stare and gloat over me. 18 They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing. 19 But you, O LORD, be not far off; O my Strength, come quickly to help me. 20 Deliver my life from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dogs. 21 Rescue me from the mouth of the lions; save me from the horns of the wild oxen. 22 I will declare your name to my brothers; in the congregation I will praise you. 23 You who fear the LORD, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! Revere him, all you descendants of Israel! 24 For he has not despised or disdained the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help. 25 From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly; before those who fear you [e] will I fulfill my vows. 26 The poor will eat and be satisfied; they who seek the LORD will praise him- may your hearts live forever! 27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him, 28 for dominion belongs to the LORD and he rules over the nations. 29 All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before him- those who cannot keep themselves alive. 30 Posterity will serve him; future generations will be told about the Lord. 31 They will proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn- for he has done it. God has truly blessed us. May we all give praise everday for the things He has done for us. Your Brother, Seektruth

Christ quoted Psalm 22:1 to lead us that He was teaching us that we are crucifying our Lord.

Well I did not mean to post it twice sorry everyone I meant to post the second one which reads better for the eyes.

Hey Except!Isn't this a beautiful prose! Even as Christ is dying on the cross, He reminds us of the Old Testament Prophesy of His death. He was teaching up to His last breath! How much more could He have shown His love for us. He was giving us all proof of Scriptural fulfillment by His death. This should give us all the more confidence that the Bible is truth and Prophesy will come to pass just as it was written.Blessings to ALL who love the Lord,Cedarhart
