Bible Question:
Subject: Please explain this verse? Mark 15:34 Note: "That's the way I see it too. It's too bad no one responded to you directly." What in the world is this forum coming to? Out of more than a dozen replies, only one person responded to the question directly? What a pity that only one among us had the great wisdom and knowledge to respond directly -- capitalized pronouns and all! Yeah, right. |
Bible Answer: Dear friend, you are right! It is a shame when our zeal to inform others of our thoughts turns us from the 'job at hand.' I will attempt to stay on track, and thank you for reminding me of focus and dignity. The words Jesus spoke are a quote from Psalm 22:1. Some say that He probably prayed the entire psalm, as a testimony that He Himself answered the prophecy of this psalm. (The Pulpit Commentary) "Posterity will serve Him; It will be told of the Lord to the coming generation.They will come and will declare His righteousness To a people who will be born, that He has performed it." Psalm 22:30,31 NASB I am of this camp, I find it unthinkable that the Lord was 'temporarily seperated' from the Trinity, or that He 'experienced' hell. I do believe that he experienced death and derision that the prophecies would be fulfilled, and that He would indeed be proven victorious over Satan. Only God's Anointed could do so. Though He was 'as a lamb led to slaughter,' from the moment after "It is finished," He was crowned in glory and resurrection power. For us, Amen! In Christ Jesus. |
