Journey to the Resurrection

Yet To Be # 309

“My God, my God why has thou forsaken me?” Matthew 27 verse 46.

This is not a question that the Lord Jesus needed to be answered.

He knew why God could not look at him. Why God had to turn his back on his only begotten son.

He knew hanging on the cross, crucified for the sake of the world he was made sin by taking our sins on himself. He became the true sacrifice.

This was the work that the Father gave him to do.

And he fulfilled this work in perfect obedience.

In perfect satisfaction to God.

“God is of purer eyes than to behold evil, and cannot look upon sin.” Habakkuk 1 verse 13.

Yet To Be # 67

For the transgression of my people was he stricken.

Day 3 April- Easter the Second Day

For God so loved the world that He gave His only son.

Love so deep and so vast,

Encompassing all.

Is free.

Pleasing the Father, to bring us back 

And to bridge that gulf between God and man,

He had to die.

Nails in his hands and feet;

The sword that pierced his side;

The crown of thorns;

The mockery, his stripes.

All for us.

His blood was shed.

His body bruised. 

All for us.

Then darkness fell, the earth rocked, the temple rent.

All for us.

Taken from the cross and laid in a tomb.

All for us.

The Lord of life came to die.

“He was taken from prison and from judgement: and who shall declare his generation? For he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.” Isaiah 53 verse 8

“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” 1 Timothy 1 verse 15
