“THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS “
The crucifixion of Jesus was a terrible event…
* It was an excruciating and painful way to die, which Jesus was willing to accept without pain-killing drugs, as in Mt 27:32-35.
* It was a shameful way to die, mocked by those who watched, crucified with common thieves, as in Mt 27:36-44.
* Along with the physical suffering, there was the spiritual agony, as in Mt 27:45-50.
*
Friend of mine,while there may be a place for contemplating upon the actual physical agony Jesus endured…
* Jesus did not want people to weep for Him, but for themselves, as in Lk 23:26-31
* Even on the cross, His concern for others was evident, as in Lk 23:34
These few thoughts will increase our appreciation of this significant event…
* His death is the condemnation of sin
* His death is the revelation of love
* His death is the redemption of the world
* His death is the inspiration of sacrificeFriend of mine have you taken advantage of what “The Crucifixion Of Jesus” means for you…?
* Have you been crucified with Christ?
* Are you putting to death the deeds of the flesh?
* Are you growing in love?
* Are you concerned and doing something about the redemption of the world?
* Are you inspired in your service to your brethren and the lost by the example of Jesus’ sacrifice?
In the words of the apostle Paul:
We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain, as in 2 Co 6:1 .
See You Tonight At The All Night As We Share in His Gory Death to His Glorious Resurrection.
HAPPY EASTER .
