Mark 15:24 “And when they crucified Him, they divided His garments, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take.”

   As we know from the other Gospels, they did not want to divide up his main garment. It was woven as one piece and was thus more valuable as such. They gambled for it specifically.
   Of course, this was all a fulfillment of prophecy. Psalm 22:18 directly predicts this event. That such prophecies of Christ are fulfilled in such detail are a shining testimony to the validity of the Scripture, and the identity of the Christ.

Heavenly Father, how can we miss the truth of your Word? So often we skip over it in our search for truth. As humans who have fallen we tend to look to ourselves for answers, seeing ourselves as our own best friend. But that is not the case. Jesus is the true Friend of humanity. He is faithful and true, and just. Thank you, Father, for the Son! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
