Consumed by Labor


My zeal has consumed me.
Psalm 119:139a

Jesus labored so earnestly to help God’s lost sheep in Israel that by the time he was crucified, he was physically used up.  His body was so emaciated that all his bones showed (Ps. 22:17).  If Jesus had not been crucified, he probably could not have lived much longer anyway.
