The Death of Jesus
28 Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips.30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
There is a cross.
He made a way
for me because
of the cross. It is
where my precious Lord and Savior hung and suffered
while nailed to the boards and wearing a crown of thorns.
His back tortured by the beating. Left to be ridiculed and
watched as He lie there helplessly dying. And His mother
standing nearby heart broken. But Jesus came to fulfill this
very act so that our
sins would be forgiven
and we would not
perish but have ever-
lasting life for those
that believed in Him.
People call it "Good Friday" and then ask
what is so good about
it? The crucifixion was
perhaps the cruelest way
anyone in history has
ever died but we as
believers know the
ending to this story and
in 3 nights and in 3 days,
all would be rejoicing. So
let the Lord's death remind
you that the wicked do not
win. The righteous and holy
are victorious. For we are
saved by His blood that
was shed for us so many
years ago today. The stripes
on His back remind us that
because of that beating,
we live. So reflect on His
sacrifice today for you.
Honor and glorify Him in
all you do today. For the
cross made a way for you
and for me and today is the
day we need to rejoice and
be glad. Thank you Jesus
for the cross. I love You.
