http://www.gospelines.com "Why Have You Forsaken Me?" Friday - Matthew 27:32-56; Psalm 22:1 The vision in the Garden of prayer the night before, now becomes a reality. What Jesus foresaw in Gethsemane he experiences on Golgotha. All the brutal sins of mankind, past and future, pounded the life out of our Lord; and worse, drove Him out of the presence of His heavenly Father. There was no more cruel way to die than by Roman crucifixion. Nails were driven into the wrists which broke the tendon connected to His shoulder, making breathing almost impossible. The entire weight of His body now rested upon the larger nail in his feet, tearing the flesh a little more with each struggling breath. From those injuries every ounce of His blood poured out in three hours. When there was no more blood in His body, water flowed from the wounds. Suspended in the darkness between two criminals, straining against the nails in his torn flesh to expand his parched lungs, He finds energy to prevail upon the Father once more: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" In that dreadful moment, judgment caught up with my sin and dealt with it by the only punishment possible... Jesus died for me on that rugged cross, all alone. GospeLines Prayer: Dear Jesus, I will never know how you were able to look at me and love me enough to die for me, but you did. Saying thank you with my lips is not enough, so help me to say it with my life. I love you so much! Amen and amen. O.
