And some of the bystanders hearing it (Jesus saying, ‘My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?’) said, “This Man is calling Elijah. And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave it to Him to drink. But the others said, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save Him.” Matthew 27:47 – 49
Lord, I can see these men looking first a one man and then another as they tried to figure out why You were crying out. After all they had seen You do many miracles.
Lord we know that Elijah didn’t come to save You. You died on that cross to pay the price for our sin.
Oh how we are humbled when we consider the price You paid. We thank You Lord. You gave Your all for us.
We bow in gratitude and thank You.
Thank You Lord.
