Matthew 27:41 "In the same way the chief priests also, with the scribes and elders, mocking him said, ..." Matthew 27:42 " 'He saved others. Himself he cannot save. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him."


Interestingly the Shepherd may have been present at the crucifixion speaking out loudly at the crucifixion and the “...chief priests, with the scribes and elders...” Matthew 27:41 may have heard him? How did the religious leaders know they should believe in Jesus at the cross? Another tale tail sign is who actually comes down from the cross unless they have supernatural powers? The shouting of the Shepherd seems likely at play here, scripture doesn't say what the Shepherd said but the signs are here that a supernatural being was present? Jesus too was the presence of God however it seems that at least two witnesses were present at the crucifixion just not recorded out right? The disciples were not spiritually clairvoyant. The religious leaders seemed to have had one or more demons among them they showed the signs they would have recognized the Shepherd being present? The Shepherd an Angel in human form representing the presence of God himself at the cross, showing leadership of not leaving Jesus alone when he was crucified? Alright scripture doesn't say that the Shepherd is present at the crucifixion, however considering the nature of God and the fact that there are hints that the Shepherd is present I would say it looks suspiciously like the Shepherd is present? I mean in Matthew 27:46 Jesus said, “...My God my God why have you forsaken me... ?” Jesus doesn't sound like he is praying to a God who is far off in heaven but one who is present right there in the form of a Shepherd representative on earth at the cross? A part of the nature of the Shepherd is that he may be worshipped as God because he is the presence of God so it would not be a far stretch to say that one could speak to the Shepherd as if he is the presence of God right there?

Interestingly I have posted this post on Halloween since I believe I write with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit it is as if the Holy Spirit has a sense of humor as if to say not dead on Halloween?

 'Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’ “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’ ” And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” 'Luke 18:1-8 NIV This is a parable for teaching the disciples how they should pray if they have difficulty in forgiving a...

 Luke 22:35 "And he said to them, 'When I sent you without purse, bag, and sandals, did you lack anything?' And they said, 'Nothing'" Jesus was not saying this to Peter because when Jesus sent Peter earlier in Mark 6:7-9 he sent him with sandals. Jesus did not send the other disciples out with sandals earlier. Jesus was hoping that Peter wouldn't buy a sword as the other disciples were encouraged to in Luke 22:36.  The two swords in Luke 22:38 may be symbolic of something? Perhaps the Holy Spirit was going to be present at the arrest of Jesus in Peter? The Shepherd was there symbolizing God, Jesus was there symbolizing Jesus but Peter may be present representing the Holy Spirit? Peter may have been representing the Holy Spirit and allowed to even though he denied Jesus three times? This may have been a part of why Peter's denial was so symbolic because he was acting as the representative of the Holy Spirit at the arrest of Jesus. It may have been teach...

 Luke 10:33-34 "But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion on him,  and went to him, and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him."  Just like the good Samaritan the Lord sees us when we have a problem and he comes to us. He bandages our wounds pouring on oil and wine. The Good Samaritan spent one day with the man then paid two denarii or two days wages to symbolize three days in total. As if to say the third day the man would rise. Symbolic for the man needed Jesus to resurrect his soul.
