“Kilio kikuu cha Yesu, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabakthani?��, yaani, “Mungu wangu, Mungu wangu, mbona umeniacha?��, na “Imekwisha��, vilitabiriwa katika Zaburi 22 ili watu waliompinga Kristo waamini kama Yesu alikuwa Masihi. Zaburi 22 ulikuwa wimbo maarufu katika kipindi cha karne ya kwanza, kipindi ambacho Yesu alizaliwa na kufa, uliotungwa na mfalme Daudi, ulioitwa ‘zaburi ya mateso na matumaini ya mwadilifu��. Kwa hiyo Yesu aliposema maneno hayo yaliwaingia watu akilini, na kuanzia hapo imani hasa ya Ukristo ikachukua kasi hadi leo hii. Zaburi 22 inaanza na “Mungu wangu, Mungu wangu, mbona umeniacha?�� na inaisha na “Imekwisha��, miongoni mwa maneno saba aliyoyasema Yesu pale msalabani Golgotha. Kwa hiyo, Zaburi 22 ni utabiri wa kifo cha Yesu.”

“Jesus Christ could die instead of man because He was sinless. As a man without sin, He was not under the judgment and condemnation of God. If Jesus had also committed sin and broken God's law, then He Himself would have needed to die according to God's righteousness judgment. He would not have been able to die for man's sin. But because He was without sin, He could die on behalf of sinful man. This is called 'vicarious death' for man.”

“The Gospel reveals a truth that if we don't see Jesus' death as our only hope for salvation, we are among the lost. But thank God, the Son of Man came to seek and save the lost, and He went to the cross to do so. The depth of His sacrifice is beyond our comprehension, but it's what makes our salvation possible. Jesus Christ had to die to save us from the darkness of sin and death. May we grasp the necessity of His death and find eternal life in Him.”
