And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” And some of the bystanders hearing it said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.” And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.” And Jesus uttered a loud cry and breathed his last. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!” - Mark 15:33-39
God, when I consider the loneliness and shame of the cross, my heart hurts. Jesus, thank you for this great sacrifice, the innocent for the guilty. You, for me. I’m sorry that my sin was unforgivable without offering up the Lamb of God. I’m so grateful that you were willing to endure this pain and mistreatment For me. The words I cannot forget. For me. For me. I settle in on this truth today. - Amen
Don’t look away from the cross too soon. This price was paid for us. Even though we know this is not the end of the story, this is a vital part of the story.

Very thankful. “Praise the Father, Praise the Son, Praise the Spirit, Three in One. God of glory, majesty. Praise for ever to the King of kings.”
Thank you, Jesus for giving your life for our sins and short comings. Thank you, GOD for giving us your PERFECT SON for our sacrifice for our SINS. Praise your HOLY NAME.
