  Who rushed to help Christ his last hours on earth?

The answer is simple. NO ONE.
No one to help comfort him.
No one to hug him.
No one to tell him it was going to be okay.
No one to wipe the sweat away.
No one to wipe his tears away.
No one to cleanse his torn flesh.
No one to encourage him.
No one seemed to care.
No one.
Not his family.
Not his friends.
Not even those who called themselves "his" disciples.
No one whom he healed of sickness.
No one he raised from the dead.
Not even one of those who asked things of him for others.
Not even one of the many that he had fed.
Not one that he had compassion for or even wept for.
Not even those to whom he cast out demons.
Not even ONE of whom had claimed to live righteously under the Old Testament law of Moses on the day he died.
No one even rush to help him carry his cross and the weight was so great for him.

Not even our Heavenly Father could be with him on
that day. Why you ask; for the sins of man(our sins not his own) that Christ bared in(not on) his body and sin separates us all from God and this would have had to been even for our dear Lord on this day, because of us.

Did Christ come in the form of man?
The answer is a simple "YES".
Why; because it shows he set aside all of his divine power to die as man. For he struggled to carry even a very, very small portion of His "own" creation.
He who made the whole world(John 1:10) and who holds it together(Heb. 1:3) did this for us.
Who rushed to help Jesus on that day that he gave he life for all?
It wasn't you my friend and it sure wasn't me either.
But I thank our Father for loving us enough to sending his son down from heaven and for Christ our Lord for loving our Father and being obeident to our Father will. For also loving us enough to give all, so we could have a way back to
God with the cleasning blood of our Savior. And for our Father raising him after 3 days so he could be our Lord.
