Today we read from Matthew 27 about the final moments of Jesus Life as he hung on the cross. Being Mocked, Spit on, laughed at and how just before he died he cried out from Psalm 22. Was he confirming who he was by the fulfillment of that scripture or was he crying out for his Father who had to turn away from him in his final moments because of ALL the Sin he was carrying ? Sin not committed by him but by US!
