Thanks for that Shamasha Paul. Do you think that what He said there has any relation to Psalm 22:1? And if so, was King David saying the same thing to God too? Also, what is Jesus saying to The Father then, if it is to be understood as "why have you spared me?" Is The Father keeping Jesus alive on the Cross? Is He asking for The Father to end it sooner by stopping His heart from beating?
Jesus did die before the others did, and when Pilate heard that he had died, he seemed shocked that it was so soon. If He hadn't died before the others, the soldiers would have certainly broken His legs too, to speed up the process, and that would have caused the Prophecy to not come to pass, which speaks of not one of His bones being broken. So maybe He was asking The Father to wrap it up. I've never thought of it along those lines before.
