Can you sense Jesus praying for you personally in this passage?

“Jesus knew that his mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture he said, ‘I am thirsty.’ A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to his lips. When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.”

John 19:28-30

It can be easy to forget, as we contemplate the full divinity of Jesus, that He was also fully human. Jesus’ divinity is clear. Recall the opening words in John’s gospel: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.”

Consider Jesus’ “I am” statements.

Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I am” At that point they picked up stones to throw at him. But Jesus was hidden from them and left the Temple.

John 8:58-59
