110 according to some, is the most often quoted portion of OT
Scripture in the NT. And - it all revolves aound God's appointment of
Jesus as His only begotten Son, into this high eternal calling as the
Great High Priest after the order of Melchizedek! And - because Jesus
is not only Son of God, but also Son of man, He is so identified with
us in our humanity, that He perfectly understands our infirmities,
and can therefore deal gently with us in our ignorance and erring.

sinless soul, He was forsaken by God, and His anguish spiritually
