Subject: Crusifiction of Christ |
Bible Note: I believe it is the one who suffered on the cross that we should focus on. Read Psalm 22 which provides graphic detail of death by crucifixtion. It helps us in a measure to understand what our saviour indured at the hands of sinful man and at the hands of a holy God as Christ was made sin for us. In Psalm 22:14 "I am poured out like water and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is melted like wax in the midst of my bowels. My strength is dried up like a postsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; thou hast brought me into the dust of death" Psalm 22:14-15 In v. 16 we read "...they pierced my hands and my feet" Yet when man had done his worst, the scene was clothed in darkness from the sixth to the nineth hour. It was during this time as the Lord Jesus bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that he cried that desolate cry as described in V1 "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" He was forsaken that we might not be forsaken for all eternity. God bless Robert |
