Luke 22.39-71-And being in agony He was praying fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground.
Genesis 40-The captain of the bodyguard put Joseph in charge of them, and he took care of them; and they were in confinement for some time.
Psalm 31-Into Your hand I commit my spirit...
Isaiah 6.1-13-"Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD of hosts, the whole earth is full of His glory."

Red leaves of a poinsettia. Jesus red blood dropped like sweat to the ground. The blood was thought in the Old Testament to have life in it. Jesus' blood has life in it. He gave this Life to the ground he had come to. Jesus blood dropping to the earth, just as God sent Him from heaven to earth to sacrifice Himself for our sin. Jesus' blood dropping to the earth. God giving all Life and Blood in Love to us. The prisoners came to Joseph for salvation. Came to Joseph in prison for interpretation. Likewise I come to Jesus in famine for interpretation. For His interpretation of Life. Given to me in and through that Blood that dropped to the earth. Jesus at His death used the same words of David, "Into Your hand I commit my spirit"---Jesus gave His all. I must commit my spirit to God. I must give my all. Jesus red Blood dropping to earth in death. Yet Life. Life eternal given. Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of hosts, the whole earth is full of His glory. Jesus red Blood dropping to earth and to me and you. Thanks be to God!

Jesus, You gave Your all---I commit my spirit to you. ---Amen
