“So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, “He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way. Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. 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?””

All,This stands out because the chief priests, etc. said, “He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him.” Are we guilty of thinking we know the purpose of God in our lives? Do we mourn when things don’t seem to be going well? Christ came to do exactly what He was doing here, yet the priests didn’t see it that way. Jesus even references Psalm 22 when He says, “ My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” and they still didn’t want to see. Please pray that we and our friends be about God’s purpose and drink the cup He gives us. Please pray for Buddy as he continues to get better.
