## Resource

"The Ninth Hour Thirst" - Matthew 27:47-49; Mark 15:35, 36; John 19:28, 29. This lesson is divided into three parts: The Devious Deception, The Divine Desire, and The Davidic Drink. Learn of a centuries' long debate about the motive of those who said the Lord was crying out to Elijah when He said, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" ("My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken Me?"). It is an interesting debate; likely the misunderstanding intentionally originated with Israel's religious rulers as a devious deception to maliciously mock Jesus. There is a lengthy discussion in this lesson about the Lord's fifth saying from the cross, "I thirst". Find out why those words give evidence of His Humanity, but how the reason He spoke them gives evidence of His Deity! Who was the last person to demonstrate a degree of compassion to the Lord Jesus? Find out! What are some of the obvious similarities between the Passover events concerning Christ's crucifixion and the original Passover of Moses' day? Again, find out (hint: darkness, hyssop, sacrificial Lamb). This lesson in written form (with Homework Questions) is found in our "Caldwell Commentary" - "Life of Christ Vol. 8 (available through www.scripturetruth.com).
