0:00.0	Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.
0:20.2	All right, welcome to day four. We're going to cover two of the last
0:23.4	seven sayings of Christ on the cross. The first one is John chapter 19, verse 28. The Bible says,
0:28.8	and after this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished said to fulfill the scripture,
0:35.4	I thirst. A jar full of sour wine stood there. So they put a sponge
0:41.1	full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. Now, I don't have time to
0:46.3	fully explain this because we got a lot to cover today. But one of the things that we see here is
0:50.8	that Jesus was fully God, but he was also fully man, that the king of kings and the
0:55.2	Lord of Lords got thirsty. And so he said, I thirst to fulfill the scripture. Now, I want to jump
1:01.2	to Matthew chapter 27 to cover the next thing that he said. In Matthew chapter 27, beginning in
1:06.4	verse 45, the Bible says this, now from the sixth hour, there was darkness over all the land
1:11.9	until the ninth hour.
1:13.4	And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice saying, this is Aramaic,
1:19.5	Eloy Aloi Lamashabaktoni, which is, my God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
1:25.9	Now, for the longest time, I used to think, well, that's a bum
1:28.3	deal. If God ever needed to put his eyes on Jesus, this would be the moment. And for sure,
1:34.7	God is punishing Jesus for the sin of the world. That is, there is no doubt about it. But essentially
1:40.4	what is happening here is there is a rabbinical tradition called a remez and it was a way to
1:45.9	teach people everybody here would have had the psalms memorized and what jesus is doing is quoting the
1:51.8	first verse of psalm 22 so that when the mind of the people heard my god my god why have you
1:58.5	forsaken me then the rest of the lyrics of that p that Psalm or song will begin to play through their mind.
2:04.0	And what's happening is Psalm 22 is a messianic prophecy about what was happening right now.
