Those who followed and loved Jesus burst into tears.
Gamaliel, Arimathea, Joseph, Nicodemus, etc. turn their eyes away.
The sky is getting darker. The thunder from the north comes closer.
But then Jesus was bleeding, breathing in pain, and panting.

there was. Jesus' outer garment was divided into four pieces, but the underwear was the problem.
It was because it was a dress that looked difficult to share.
A person decides to own the entire garment. They even cast lots.

have.
The record below it: "Lamentations 1:12, You have no relation to you, you who pass by.
Isn't it? Is there any kind of worry that has come upon me? "
"Doing these things"----Many people in the world today also pay for their sins
I have no interest in Jesus Christ, who carried and carried the cross. Indifference

Hymns and Gospel songs Christians crouch down to relieve stress and score
Is it called Maggie?

have.
* They say that godliness is the only material for profit.
But what did Jesus say to the Roman soldiers?
“Father, they do not know, but their sins
Forgive me"
Father, strike me with a thunderbolt right now---
Because he loves me and believes in Jesus, he endures, gives, and smiles.
They pretend to be completely indifferent to such things, they do their own thing, no, they take ours.
Distrusting husbands, parents, and neighbors who share and use us
Do you often despair?
Let's not despair. Jesus' forgiveness and prayer will soon overthrow Rome.
Please believe that we conquered by force.
We bear the cross for the world that is now indifferent to that taste.
2. Christ is the priest.
Clothes that cast lots = chiton
Only John is specifically mentioned.
Exodus 28:4, Leviticus 16:4 = Ketoneth (= Chiton)
Josephus, Ancient History Vol 3, Chapter 161 , Linen cloth with only the throat
Revelation 1:13, Long clothes (Poderes)----70 people Exodus 29:5, Ton Kitona Ton Podere
*The idea of Jesus = High Priest was already familiar to the New Testament church.
Doing this---this is the point of John's symbolic theology (Raymond Brown).
Latin, Pontifex = Bridge Builder (Priest)
Jesus Christ is the high priest
Because of Jesus Christ, we go boldly today before the throne of grace.
Bless you for believing.
Jesus Christ, who was crucified and put to death that day, was there
He became a perfect high priest to all.
And that Jesus Christ is for sinners like us today and for all who believe
He became the Eternal High Priest.
[Conclusion] Let's break the indifference of the world. That's why we desperately and powerfully
Prayer is needed.
Today, take all your burdens and go before the High Priest Jesus Christ.
Let's get God's help.
