Psalms 22:14

This is the physical and emotional reality of crucifixion. The joints dislocating under the weight of a body hanging on a cross, the rapid heart-rate and melting terror — medical historians recognise these as accurate descriptions of what Jesus endured. The psalm saw it all.

Memory phrase: Jesus gave every drop of strength for us.

Talk about it: When have you ever felt completely worn out and empty? Jesus felt that way for us on the cross.

Prayer: Jesus, You poured out everything — every bit of strength — for me. Thank You.
