I am still thinking about an earlier post: A Weekend Suggestion.
And reading Matthew 27 again brings it all the more to mind.
In A Weekend Suggestion, I reminded us that JESUS is the LIGHT of the World.
Matthew 27 tells us on the day YESHUA died BEFORE He died, from noon to about 3:00 the sun did not shine — it was dark. There was darkness everywhere.
That means something to me.
Allow me to share some of my thinking with you about Christiandom. It seems to me for the last many centuries people have been distracted by the beatings, spitting, heinous actions of the people against Yeshua. Yes, distracted.
Distracted from what we desperately need to see.
We concentrate on the trial, the lies, the cat of nine tails, the crown of thorns — and we should be moved even more by it than we are but it is NOT the wrath of man against JESUS that saves us.
No.
It isn’t.
It is that HE submitted Himself to the WRATH of THE FATHER poured out on HIM.
You read that right it is not the suffering He suffered at the hands of man BUT the WRATH OF GOD poured out on HIM by His Very Own FATHER GOD!
From Noon until about 3 o’clock we have no idea, no imagination, no comprehension, no means of knowing the HELL that was poured out on JESUS while He was alive on that cross.
Why?
Because it was the ONLY WAY TO SAVE YOU AND ME!
JESUS suffered heinous, horrible, unholy, cruel, demonic physical assaults to His perfect Human Flesh but that was NOT GOD’s WRATH.
That was man’s wrath against GOD.
What saved you and me was what happened to JESUS, the GODMAN on that cross in the DARK.
When the LIGHT of the WORLD became DARKNESS.
The darkness we are without Him.
When HE said It is finished. That’s what He meant it.
It was Finished; the WRATH had been poured out and HE took it — every last drop of it.
Isaiah 53:6
Mark 14:32-42
Romans 5:12-19
And then to fully identify with us and to fulfill every jot and tittle of prophecy HE DIED.
And in three days — HE arose from being graveyard dead!
Got doubts?
Consider this.
During that darkness, JESUS cried out:
45 Now from the sixth hour darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabaktanei?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” source
And this:
46 And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into Your hands I entrust My spirit.” And having said this, He died. source
In between these two voicings of JESUS, the GODMAN, everything that needed to happen to have JESUS say IT IS FINISHED, happened.
So why are we not telling every, living, breathing soul in the world?
Fellow Followers of The LORD JESUS CHRIST, stop fretting, grumbling, complaining, and feeding on the media’s idolatry of governmental administrations. Don’t give this Distraction the time of day.
