Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matt 27:46), repeating the sentence recorded in David’s psalm (Ps. 22:1). He followed the providence of God.

The name Jesus used to call himself was ‘the Son of Man.’ Jesus said to people, “Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you” (John 6:53). The ‘Son of Man’ was from David’s word that the Christ would come as the Son of Man. Let’s read Psalm 8:4-5. “What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?

He already knew what would happen to him. The Lamb refers to a sacrifice to God.

Galatians 3:13 says, “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us.” Jesus came to this
