But the Son of Man has no place to lay his head

Lord Jesus Christ suffered at the cross for about six hours, and the Bible says that finally he bowed down his head - When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, It is finished, and he bowed his head (klinas) and gave up his spirit - John 19:30

That means, for 6 hours our Lord Jesus Christ did not rest or bend his head, and even at the moment of all his blood drained out his head was straight and never rested on his shoulder - He will not grow faint or be discouraged till he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his law - Isaiah 42:4

Then why finally Lord bowed down his head?

In those days, when someone invite the guest to their home, the person who invited must provide the water to the guest, so that the guest can wash their feet, and then the person who invited will bow down the head to welcome the Guest, actually bowing down is an universal language, and everyone in this world understands that, in Greek its called "klinē".

During the ministry of Jesus Christ, a man put his request to follow him, but the Lord did not accept his request, and said i can not bow down my head to welcome you, because you are not washed yet for my kingdom which is not belongs to this world - As they were going along the road, someone said to him, I will follow you wherever you go. But Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven have nests; but the Son of man does not have any place to bow(klinē) His head - Luke 9:57-58

Why Christ shed his sinless blood?

And finally, why did he bow down his head at the cross?

So when Jesus Christ said i cannot bow down now, which means his blood was not shed yet to purify us, after cleansing us only he can welcome us, and the Bible says, after shedding all his blood, the Lord bow down his head to welcome us - When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, It is finished, and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit - John 19:30

The human body would react for his final breadth, but Bible is very clear that Jesus Christ bow down his head even before gave up his spirit. No one paid much attention when Christ bow down his head, but the one who wanted to follow him know the meaning. And its a universal welcome, and its a Lord's invitation for every language, tribe, color and nation, Please accept his invitation and come to Christ.

NOTE:

  • Guest does not carry the cleansing water, Its house owner responsibility to provide the water to wash the Guest feed, So come as you are.

  • No house owner would allow the Guest with dirty foot to their home, so to enter into the kingdom of God you must be washed by the blood of Jesus Christ.

  • Is any other religion or god or practices can do that? Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me - John 14:6
